Presentation of a book dedicated to Yuri Solomin, held at the Maly Theater

MOSCOW. On March 26, a presentation of a book written by well-known critic and theater expert Vera Maximova took place in the capital’s small theater. The book was published under the title "And it’s all about him," and it is dedicated to the head of the Maly Theater Yuri Solomin.

Over the past two years, Yuri Mefodevich celebrated two anniversaries - in 2012, the director celebrated 55 years of work on the Maly stage, and in 2013, the 25th anniversary of his work as art director of his native theater.

Therefore, the book, presented by Vera Maksimova, became a natural and deserved continuation of the celebration of the artist. Thanks to the book, fans of Yuri Solomin got the opportunity to get acquainted in detail not only with the creative life of the actor and director, but also to learn about his life outside of his professional career.

It is especially interesting that the book contains many photographs from the archives of the theater. The publication begins with the artist’s childhood, spent in Chita, about his move to Moscow. Then, the next page of the life of the future artistic director of the Maly Theater opens to the readers - admission to the school. Shchepkina and study in it.

Most of the book is dedicated to the work of Yuri Solomin in the Maly Theater, however, the cinematic career of the artist is covered in no less detail. The description of the childhood and youth of Yuri Solomin is based on personal, candid memories of the actor himself, which he generously shared with the author of the book.

Vera Maksimova at the presentation of the book admitted that for the first time she had to be so close with the hero of her work. This is not surprising, because for many years they have been working together in the same theater. The book was designed by artist Boris Trofimov, thanks to which the publication turned out to be surprisingly beautiful. Everyone can purchase a book at the Maly Theater.
