Cultural exchange in 1954 - 1960 played an important role in the formation of Soviet-Indian cooperation. Adhering to the principles of "pancha shila", the Soviet leadership used the strategy of "soft ...power" to expand its own influence in Asian countries. The exchange of creative teams and individual performers laid the foundation for building cultural relations between the USSR and India in the future. Closer contacts in the period under review were established between circus, theatrical art and dance ensembles. Spectators from both countries had the opportunity to get to know the intangible cultural heritage of the USSR and India, which, in turn, formed a positive impression on the public. Without official agreements, the exchange was carried out during the period under review on the basis of mutual interest, thanks to the initiative of the USSR leadership, closer interaction was carried out, contacts were expanded in the cultural sphere. Consideration of the issue of the place of variety art in the Soviet-Indian cultural exchange makes it possible to determine the features of the process, identify problematic components, in particular, the reluctance to expand the geography of exchanges and the increase in the cost of organizing tours by the Indian leadership. Nevertheless, the Soviet side sought to use this channel to promote the Soviet way of life, deliberately investing heavily in the implementation of plans for cultural interaction with India.
A review of the first volume of new collection of Alexander Ostrovsky’s complete works published under the editorship of Irina Ovchinina, Yuriy Lebedev, Vladimir Tikhomirov in 2018 in Kostroma, is ...presented in the article. The author of the article tells about the team of authors from the cities of Ivanovo, Kostroma, Moscow and St. Petersburg, who took on a lot of work and a huge responsibility to prepare such a large-scale publication. The grounds that make the reissue of Alexander Ostrovsky’s complete works necessary, as well as the objective difficulties that inevitably arose before the team of authors — including the unique attitude of the playwright to the texts of his works when publishing, the presence of a difficult stage history of plays with certain accents in acting, knotty problems with censorship of Alexander Ostrovsky’s works — are considered in the article. The author states that the complete works’ editors had adequately handled all difficulties — the texts of Alexander Ostrovsky appeared before the readers in the first volume of the new full complete works along with editions and versions, the creative history of works, an overview of critical responses in Alexander Ostrovsky’s lifetime, information about stage history and estimates of theatre performances, as well as real, historical and linguistic commentary. Some points do not pass without comment of the reviewer; however, considering the content of the volume, describing important discoveries and findings, the author of the article concludes that the entire Russian philology has been significantly enriched by the publication of that scientific work.
În articol se subliniază faptul că originile teatrului profesionist în limba română coincid cu primele manifestări ale Teatrului școlar (TȘ). La fel și dezvoltarea sau, mai târziu, ...instituționalizarea acestuia se datorează acelorași inițiative școlare. Astfel, descoperim o tradiție cu mult peste 250 de ani de TȘ (german, maghiar sau român), încă din perioada Reformei luterane, când drama școlară începe a fi scrisă în limbile naționale (Brașov) sau în perioada instituirii „primei scene stabile românești” (Blaj).În Transilvania, teatrul în limba română a răzbit încă de la începutul secolului al XVIII-lea. În Moldova se va vedea că acest lucru nu a fost posibil decât în următorul secol (1816). În Țara Românească, la București, primul spectacol în limba română a avut loc mai târziu decât în Moldova, dar tot în școală (1819). Cu toate acestea, Țara Românească și Moldova au privilegiul înființării teatrelor profesioniste în limba română în prima jumătate a secolului XIX, spre deosebire de Transilvania, unde acest eveniment cultural va avea loc abia la început de secol XX.În concluzie, școala este locul de întâlnire a tuturor manifestărilor teatrale în limba maternă până la instituționalizarea definitivă a teatrului profesionist în arealul românesc. FOUNDATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE NATIONAL LANGUAGE PROFESSIONAL THEATRE BY MEANS OF THE SCHOOL THEATERThe article emphasizes that the origins of professional theatre in Romanian coincide with the first manifestations of the School Theatre (ST). Likewise, its development or, later, its institutionalization, is due to the same school initiatives. Thus, we discover a tradition with more than 250 years of ST (German, Hungarian or Romanian), ever since the time of the Lutheran Reformation, when the school drama begins to be written in the national languages (Brasov) or during the establishment of the “first stable Romanian stage” (Blaj). In Transylvania the Romanian theatre waded through since the beginning of the 18th century. In Moldova that would only be possible in the next century (1816). In Muntenia, in Bucharest, the first performance in the Romanian language took place later than in Moldova, but still in the school (1819). However, Muntenia and Moldova had the privilege of setting up professional theatres in Romanian in the first half of the 19th century, unlike Transylvania, where this cultural event took place only at the beginning of the 20th century.In conclusion, the school was the meeting place of all the theatrical events in the mother tongue until the definitive institutionalization of the professional theatre in the Romanian area.
