E. Radzinsky about the new program:

"I'm starting a cycle of performances" Mysterious Russia". Hopefully, they will not be lectures, but will become Travels to the past. And you will see the deceased Russian rulers as I see them when I tell.

What am I going to tell?

On the "Kingdom of Women", this is  Russian paradox, when the country's women's lack of rights autocratically by ruled five empresses, about this wonderful kingdom, which has spread to the entire 18th century, the last kingdom, where love rules in politics, where the road from the shacks to the palace was also often short, as a way out from  the palace to the scaffold.

Or the mysterious King of Grozny, which in the writings of historians, like a chameleon, the ages change  their color: the tyrant, "a rebel in his own country" (Karamzin), the Grand Master and Sovereign (Stalin).

Or another exemplary autocrat Nicholas I, who created a ruthless power vertical, which "did not need clever men, but need loyalists," and who believed that our nation goes forward only when it  feels an "iron fist."

Or of Alexander III,  having  believed that Russia has only two true allies - Army and Navy.

Or all of these stories joined together ...

Finally, I choose the topic only when I get on stage, when I feel the electricity, running out of the hall,   and understand what I have to tell the audience today. "
