"The theaters are now going through difficult times, I want Lenkom to live for the same number of years," Dzhigarkhanyan congratulated his colleagues.
From TRAM to Lenkom
The first to jump out onto the stage, waving the flag, were members of the Komsomol and the Red Army in the performance younger generation"Lenkom"
"Is the headquarters of the anarchists here?" the commissar asked.
“Look at the faces, of course, they are all here,” the representative of the working youth reassured him.
In 1927, under the patronage of the Komsomol organization, the Theater of Working Youth (TRAM) was opened, in 1938 it was renamed the Lenin Komsomol Theater, which was headed by Ivan Berseniev. TRAM moved to the current building of the former merchant club in 1933.
The name of the theater was played by the actor Viktor Verzhbitsky, who appeared on stage in the image of Lenin with a wooden armored car on a string. "In this building, I spoke at the III Congress of the Komsomol. Theater for a long time bore my name, and even now - Lenkom - three letters remained, so my name will live on, "the leader of the world proletariat expressed confidence."
Crystal roses from Turandot
The expressive revolutionaries on the stage were replaced by the Chinese royalty and a representative of the Russian nobility: Princess Turandot performed by Alexandra Zakharova and actor Viktor Rakov in the image of Count Rezanov - the hero of the famous rock opera Juno and Avos.
Turandot and Rezanov on behalf of theater award"Crystal Turandot" presented prizes - crystal roses - to the leading actors of the theater: Leonid Bronevoy, Inna Churikova, Dmitry Pevtsov, Sergey Lazarev, Yuri Kolychev, Sergey Stepanchenko, Elena Shanina and others.
The hall was attended by the first performer of the role of Count Rezanov - actor Nikolai Karachentsov with his wife Lyudmila Porgina. The actor received the prize to thunderous applause from the standing hall.
Alexander Zbruev, putting aside his "crystal rose", took the floor in return, saying that he could not help but go on stage today. Zbruev in his speech recalled the founder of the theater Bersenyev, all the luminaries and artistic directors of Lenkom.
"I have been serving here for 55 years. When I came, the theater was 35 years old, it was directed by great director Anatoly Vasilyevich Efros, did not direct for long, but who came into contact with him will always equate himself to the bar that he set, having staged nine performances in three years. Since 1973 it has been led by great Mark Anatolyevich Zakharov! This hall has been prayed for for 90 years… Congratulations to everyone!” Zbruev said.
He recalled how, being young, he rehearsed with the actors Alexander Shirvindt and Leonid Kanevsky, who also served in Lenkom. “Sasha Shirvindt played in the crowd in the play “On the Wedding Day”, and now he is the artistic director of the Satire Theater,” Zbruev said and read a verse dedicated to all the actors.
Mark, take us to Lenkom!
The ensemble "Satyryane" under the leadership of Shirvindt did not take long to wait. Shirvindt also remembered his first roles in Lenkom.
“My line “Guys, why are we wandering around the village in vain?” - in terms of social power, I didn’t play anything more powerful,” the actor ironically. He joked that Mark Zakharov, when he was appointed artistic director of Lenkom, did not even know where the theater was located.
“But he knew that I was playing there,” said Shirvindt. The ensemble performed the song "Road Complaints", which, according to Shirvindt, Zakharov liked to sing. According to the artistic director of the "Satire" theater, the lack of notes was due to the fact that the musicians tried to preserve "the author's performance of Zakharov."
A witty video greeting was sent to "Lenkom" by the actors of the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater. In the images of sailors in white “underwear” from the play “Juno and Avos”, he prayed to Zakharov: “Mark, take us to Lenkom! .. Well, there is no Avos in the Moscow Art Theater!” - Igor Vernik and Igor Zolotovitsky soloed. They also went on stage to congratulate the theater in person and presented the troupe with a food basket for a festive banquet.
Pushkin and the place of power
On behalf of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, whose monument is adjacent to the theater, Gennady Khazanov, artistic director of the Variety Theater, congratulated Lenkom.
“Even though Posner himself asks me about Lenkom, I will answer with pride:“ Yes, we are almost relatives! It’s not for nothing that my monument stands next to the theater, but I just don’t understand why and why they turned my back to Lenkom ... ", Khazanov recited, ending the verse of Pushkin on a pathetic note: "Zakharov erected a monument not made by hands, it will not grow to him folk trail.
Towards the end, a crystal figurine of Turandot was presented to Zakharov in the presence of the entire troupe on stage.
"I want to thank the moment when I was appointed head and director here, but then I managed to dodge the director ... I was lucky - this is a very strong place on the body of Moscow - Pushkinskaya Square, the space of the exploded Sretensky Monastery and the adjacent Church of the Nativity of the Virgin in Putinki, which was restored by the theatre," Zakharov thanked the fate.
After the solemn part, a festive buffet was held in the foyer of the theater. "The President of Russia Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin just called me and congratulated all of us on the anniversary," the artistic director told the guests and the theater troupe and announced the buffet open.
Moscow's leading theaters congratulated their legendary counterpart from Malaya Dmitrovka
Animation in front of the entrance to Lenkom always reigns, even when there is a closed rehearsal for their own (how will they know?), but at six in the evening on Tuesday, an hour before the anniversary evening, from the exclamations of “is there an extra invitation?” in general, there was nowhere to go, the entrance almost had to be taken by storm. That's what national recognition means. And Mark Zakharov carefully "hopes" that his theater "is not old-fashioned and is needed by the public." Yes, much more needed! On the street at the entrance, according to the administration, a madhouse is going on!
In the hall - all theatrical and non-theatrical Moscow, some well-known faces, one way or another "sympathizing" with the legendary theater, and the evening itself to match - extremely unusual, mobile, sharp, stylish - in Lenkom style - built on an unexpected change of emotions: for for some two hours, the whole grandiose history of the theater and the country ran without a break. No official words. Only the delight of victories and the pain of loss ...
Everything was masterfully staged with the participation of the first non-state award "Crystal Turandot": the organizers decided to congratulate all the people's artists by presenting each of them with a charming crystal rose ... Hence the name of the celebration: "Crystal Bouquet for Lenkom".
It is clear that the evening had nothing to do with the main competition and the nominations for Turandot, but Mark Zakharov also received his statuette for his many years of contribution to the development of the theater.
But the most delicious are small fragments of Lenkom's performances (dance, music), which seem to pass the baton to each other in time and space; at the same time, old photographs of artists, priceless newsreels appear on the screen.
The evening was hosted by Alexandra Zakharova (dressed as Princess Turandot) and Viktor Rakov (dressed as Count Rezanov). By the way, they also participate in historical sketches-fragments (together with Pevtsov, Verzhbitsky, etc.); Alexander Zbruev delighted everyone with his poems, Sergey Stepanchenko sang a number from Peer Gynt, Rakov sang a military song (in memory of how theater brigades went to the front line) ...
It was very touching to observe three greetings from the "neighbors": from the Moscow Art Theater, from the Vakhtangov (theater and school) and from the Theater of Satire - now more than ever this sense of elbow, a sense of a single cultural environment is important; especially such a date!
It’s not for nothing that Zakharov praises his youth, who have “synthetic talents”, unlike, perhaps, the artists of the former school: they lit up the anniversary evening with their energy - like every performance, it became clear that 90 is not the age and Lenkom, despite all tragic losses, young and active as ever.

From the history of "Lenkom"
The Moscow Lenkom Theater is housed in a building built in 1909 for the Moscow Merchants' Club. In 1918, the "House of Anarchy" settled within these walls, later - the Communist University, where in 1920 the Third All-Russian Congress of the RKSM was held, at which Ulyanov-Lenin spoke.
In 1927, at the initiative of the Moscow Komsomol, the Theater of Working Youth (TRAM) was created in the building on Malaya Dmitrovka, which four years later received professional status, and a little later such famous masters of the Moscow Art Theater as Sudakov, Stanitsyn, Batalov, Khmelev joined its troupe. .
In 1938 the theater was named after the Lenin Komsomol. Then he was led famous actor and director Ivan Bersenev. With his arrival, Simonov and Korneichuk, Lavrenev and Gorky, Turgenev and Rostand were staged here.
A bright period began in the life of the theater, when Anatoly Efros became the main director. His productions of plays by Rozov and Radzinsky, Chekhov and Bulgakov caused a great public outcry.
And finally, in 1973, its current artistic director, Mark Zakharov, came to the theater. His fame began with the very first performance - "Autograd XXI" - and continues to this day with the most recent premiere - "Oprichnik's Day". Between these productions there were such iconic ones as "Till", "The Star and Death of Joaquin Murieta", "Juno and Avos", "Crazy Day or The Marriage of Figaro", "Royal Games", " The Cherry Orchard"," Jester Balakirev "," Marriage "," All-in", "Peer Gynt" and others.
Many of these performances are still on the playbill of the theater, which since 1990 has been bearing the sonorous name "Lenkom".
