Description of the attraction
The Moscow Art Academic Theater named after M. Gorky, existing today, was founded in 1987. The Drama Theater under the artistic direction of Tatiana Doronina considers itself the successor of the Moscow Art Theater, which existed since 1898 under the artistic direction of KS Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko.
In 1987, ON Efremov initiated the division of the theater into two different creative teams. Moscow Art Theater Chekhov under the leadership of O. Efremov and the Moscow Art Theater. M. Gorky under the leadership of T. Doronina.

Moscow Art Theater M. Gorky carefully preserves the traditions of the old Moscow Art Theater. After the division of the theater, the Art Theater under the leadership of T. Doronina defined its further path as "the path of returning to the great Stanislavsky."
In October 1987, the theater opened with the premiere of the play "At the Bottom" by M. Gorky. The theater has remained faithful to the traditions laid down by the founders of the Moscow Art Theater.
