- Abstract:
The opening night of the play «Dead Souls» in the Art Theater, staged by K.S. Stanislavsky, happened on the 28th November of 1932 and became a starting point for discussions in several institutions, including Vserosskomdram. The publication of the transcripts of Andrei Bely's lecture on «Dead Souls» (staged by the Art Theater) and the debate on this report brings to light the peculiarities of relationships within the literary community of the time. The materials presented serve to illustrate the work of the Vserosskomdram, its motives and reasonings.
