11 Stars of Taganka

This book is about eleven of the most famous people from the most famous, one might even say scandalously famous, Soviet Theater on Taganka. Among domestic creative collectives, Taganka is perhaps the only one in the country that has three mutually exclusive biographies. Since its founding in 1946, it was the Moscow Theater of Drama and Comedy. Then it became the Moscow Theater of Drama and Comedy on Taganka. And then it split into two troupes. But this book is about the main Theater on Taganka. About the theater where the legendary Vladimir Vysotsky performed for more than one and a half decades. Here, the reader will find unique, exclusive facts from the lives of the stars: Vladimir Vysotsky, Anatoly Vasilyev, Nikolai Gubenko, Nikolai Dupak, Valery Zolotukhin, Yuri Lyubimov, Zinaida Slavina, Veniamin Smekhov, Leonid Filatov, Boris Khmelnitsky, Leonid Yarmolnik.
