Veteran organizations carried out such actions in other cities of the Yekaterinburg region. The performance of the play “The Widowed Steamboat” was a wonderful gift not only to those people who made this great holiday appear.

The play “The Widowed Steamboat” has existed in the theater repertoire since 2010. This production based on a play written by Irina Grekova and Pavel Lungin was created for the small stage of the theater by director Andrei Rusinov. The best actors of the theater, engaged in the play, in the words of their heroes tell the audience that the war did not end immediately on Victory Day. It continues in the fate of women whose families were destroyed by the war, children who have never seen their fathers, the impossibility of the usual desire for women to love. It broke people more than the war itself.
