The full-scale military invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 20 22 significantly altered the global geopolitical landscape and cultural co ntext. This has affected many countries\, particularly Ukraine and Russia. While Ukrainian artists and institutions have had to contend with the des truction of cultural infrastructure\, forced displacement\, and censorship in occupied territories\, as well as the imperative to document wartime e xperiences\, Ukrainian theatre has emerged as a potent vehicle for resista nce\, self-representation\, and international solidarity. But how did Russ ian theatre\, which had become increasingly politicized for various reason s in recent years\, respond to the invasion? On the one hand\, against the backdrop of growing repression in the country\, it has become an instrume nt of official propaganda and a conduit for state ideology. On the other h and\, the number of independent\, small-scale and underground initiatives is growing. Thirdly\, many theatre artists who disagreed with the current regime were forced to leave the country and are now practicing theatre in exile. During the lecture\, we will analyze the preconditions for the curr ent situation in Russian theatre\, discuss its development vectors\, and e xplore its prospects. At the end of the lecture\, listeners will have the opportunity to ask questions and learn firsthand about the strategies empl oyed by Russian theatre makers.
