The most recent trend in Russian theater is experiencing it on your phone. You download an app, buy a ticket for a particular performance, put your headphones on and press play. The performance leads you through the city. Mikhail Zygar, the author of the bestselling book on Putin’s presidency “All the Kremlin’s Men” and former editor-in-chief of the only Russian independent news channel, Dozhd, launched “Mobilny Khudozhestvenny Teatr” (Mobile Art Theater) in the summer of 2019. One of his productions, “1,000 Steps with Kirill Serebrennikov,” which deals with the house arrest of one of Russia’s most prominent theater directors, has already been nominated for the “Golden Mask” award.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
