Polityka i estetyka w dzisiejszym teatrze rosyjskim
Politics and Aesthetics in Today's Russian Theater

Summary/Abstract: This article's springboard is Russian Case during the Gold Mask Festival in Moscow. Katarzyna Osińska sketches out the latest tendencies in Russian theater, with particular attention to the problematic relations between its art and politics. She focuses on the work of such directors as Kiril Syeryebryennikov and Konstantin Bogomolov, and on those directors who raised a great deal of controversy in the previous year, or came into conflict with the state apparatus (Teatr.doc) and the Orthodox Church (Timofey Kulabin). The author analyzes their plays in the context of the nationwide tendency to return to the authority of the classics in a time of socio-political change, when many in the society have come to see the traditional as being under threat.
