After a short entr'act, rehearsals of a dramatization of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's novella, "No One Writes to the Colonel," will soon resume at the Stanislavsky Drama Theater. The break occurred when Pyotr Mamonov, who will play the lead, jetted off to Hollywood for a few weeks to shoot in a movie. Starring opposite the rock-star-turned-actor at the Stanislavsky will be Yelizaveta Nikishchikhina, whose performances in "The Marriage" have garnered her several votes for Best Actress of the Year in a recent Nezavisimaya Gazeta critics poll.

More on Marquez. Director Vyacheslav Spesivtsev and Columbian Ambassador Gonzalo Bula Hoyos hosted a special performance of Spesivtsev's adaptation of Marquez's novel, "One Hundred Years of Solitude," at the Spesivtsev Experimental Theater last week. Spesivtsev, who has been a fixture on Moscow's youth theater scene since the 1970s, produces shows that mix prof-
essional actors with children.

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.
