In the foyer of the Tatar State Drama and Comedy Theater named after K. Tinchurin, a bust of Karim Tinchurin unveiled

September 15, the day of the 130th anniversary of the birth of one of the founders of the Tatar theater - the great playwright, actor and director Karim Tinchurin, in the foyer of the Tatar State Drama and Comedy Theater named after K. Tinchurin, a bust of Karim Tinchurin unveiled. The solemn ceremony was attended by  Chairman of the State Council of the Republic of Tatarstan Farid Mukhametshin,  Minister of Culture of the Republic of Tatarstan Airat Sibagatullin, MPs and representatives of the theatrical community. The author of the bust is a sculptor, painter, member of the Union of Artists of Russia Rustam Gabbasov.

Speaking at the solemn ceremony, Farid Mukhametshin noted an outstanding role of Karim Tinchurin in formation and development of the Tatar national theater. "We are justifiably proud of such representatives of the Tatar culture as Karim Tinchurin," he said. "His dramaturgy, plays, which reflect the life of the people, dramatic and tragic destinies of people, have become an integral part of the gold fund of the Tatar theater."

After the flowers were laid, the honorable guests watched the play "The Last Play" on the autobiographical novel "Thirty-Three Days" - the last work by  Karim Tinchurin. The author of the staging was Ilgam Gali. Director - Honored Artist of the Russian Federation, Honored Artist of the Republic of Tatarstan Rashid Zagidullin. Artist - Honored Artist of Russia, Honored Artist of the Republic of Tatarstan, People's Artist of the RT Sergei Skomorokhov. In  production, the whole troupe of the theater is involved. The play is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the October Revolution in Russia, the 100th anniversary of the liberation of Kazan from the occupation by the Czech Legion and was staged for the first time in the history of the Tatar theater.

The story "Thirty-Three Days", included in the collection of short stories "Coral Beads", quite legitimately stands in line with the works by classics of Soviet literature, such as "The Life of Klim Samgin" by M. Gorky, "The Road to Calvary " by A. Tolstoy, "Beg"   by  A. Bulgakov and others. With historical accuracy, the author describes the era of revolutionary hard times. Many of the characters in this story have their prototypes, who actually took part in those events when in the era of tragic revolutionary transformations people's lives and the life of a huge country were grinded.

As the famous Tatar playwright Riza Ishmurat wrote in the preface to the book "Coral Beads" by K. Tinchurin, the ninth novel, titled "Thirty-Three Days," deserves special attention.

"This work shows the period of the civil war, when, in 1918, after the capture of Kazan by the whites, the counterrevolutionary forces that joined them protested against the Soviet power of workers. Through these extraordinary historical events, the deep emotional experiences of the Tatar intellectual, journalist and young writer Suleiman, who perplexed at the crossroads, without knowing who to join, are passed, "wrote Riza Ishmurat.
