“Russians are not Romans, they don’t need much bread and circuses. But we need a great goal, and we will give it. And where the goal is, there is the chain... If everyone starts to care about their own happiness, then what will be left of Russia? »The play “Kill the Serpent” closes the theme of the 17th century in Boris Akunin’s project “History of the Russian State” and makes you think about the forks in Russian history, that everything could always turn out differently.< p> The play has become part of the new performance-triptych of RAMT "Last Days" staged by Alexei Borodin, where not only heroes converge, but also authors who have missed each other for centuries: Alexander Pushkin tells the story of "The Bronze Horseman" and himself falls into the field of view of Mikhail Bulgakov. And from the 21st century, Boris Akunin watches the young Tsarevich Peter: “... And nothing will happen. Nothing that they dreamed about ... Not a fleet. No victories. No window to Europe. No proper capital on the seashore. No empire. Russia cannot be great…”Copyright© B. Akunin, 2020© Abecca Global Inc, 2020© ℗ OOO AST Publishing House, Audiobook, 2020 Audio producer: Tatyana Plyuta
