Details
I was lucky to be part of the Alexandrinsky Theatre Company at the time when its stage boards were graced by the talents of those great actors who were top of the bill not only in the Alexandrinsky Theatre, but in Russian theatre in general. Upon my graduation, I received a very generous offer to join the Alexandrinsky Company, and though I had other offers too, I naturally took it at once.
