The play “Nadezhdiny” with Masha Mashkova

A love story set against the backdrop of revolution takes center stage in the acclaimed play Nadezhdins.

Evgeny Nadezhdin—a young revolutionary exiled from Kharkiv to Chișinău for his ideas—was an intellectual and principled publicist, a comrade and main opponent of Lenin. Soviet authorities ultimately destroyed him, and his contemporaries consigned him to oblivion.

His beloved, Melania Sevruk, is the great-grandmother of Masha Mashkova. This extraordinary story, unfolding amid the collapse of an empire, became the foundation of the production.

On stage, Masha Mashkova brings to life the dramatic events of the past, which strikingly resonate with the present. The voice of Evgeny Nadezhdin in the play belongs to another well-known figure—Anatoly Bely.
