They are united by the theme of the theater and wider – art – and express the Chekhov aesthetic position in relation to creative people – actors and writers. The heroes of all these works are doomed to painful search for creative self -expression, many of them experience the collapse of hopes and disappointment, but the best of them find the strength to live on – these are the main Chekhov positive characters.

Sukhikh, author of the books “Problems of the Poetics of Chekhov”, “Chekhov in life.” The collection is equipped with photographs of the first productions of the play “The Seagull” of the Alexandrinsky Theater (1896) and the Moscow Art Theater (1898).
