Description

In a marvelous performance by the actors are the stories from the 1852 cycle “A Hunter’s Notes,” which enjoyed enormous success at the time and remains popular and relevant to this day. Many of these stories are familiar to us from school literature lessons: “The Singers,” “The Rendezvous,” “Khor and Kalinich,” “Yermolai and the Mill-Girl,” “Two Landowners,” “The County Baker,” “Lgov,” “Death,” “Forest and Steppe,” “The Reformer and the Russian German,” and “My Neighbor Radilov.” The hunter appears either as an outsider or as a careful listener to a many-faceted, many-voiced, “living” Russia.
