Book "Theater of the eighties. Memory and Hope..." is a living chronicle of the events of theatrical Moscow from the late 70s to the 80s of the XX century. And what could then be safely considered direct reporting from the theatrical stage is today becoming an important page in the history of Russian culture. The special value of this publication is precisely the fact that the theater was not taken out of the context of the era, as a separate phenomenon, but was considered by the author against the background of the entire cultural life of the capital of that time.
