In Smolensk, a creative evening of Nikita Vysotsky took place

As part of the festive program of the State Museum “Smolensk fortress”, dedicated to the City Day, a creative evening of Nikita Vladimirovich Vysotsky took place. The events took place in the historical walls of the Gromova Tower and assembled a full hall.

Nikita Vladimirovich spoke in two ways at once: as the son of the great poet Vladimir Vysotsky, who keeps personal memories of him, as the director of the State Museum of Vladimir Vysotsky in Moscow.

For Smolyans, this name has a special meaning - Vladimir Vysotsky is part of their personal history.

The meeting was deeply personal. Nikita Vysotsky spoke about the classic productions of the Taganka Theatre under the direction of Yuri Lyubimova.

Special attention was paid to the role of Vladimir Vysotsky in the play Hamlet, and the guest quoted the words of critic Lev Anninsky, who helped save the play from the ban by officials:

“There may be flaws in the play, but it should be missed. It has Hamlet in it! It is not that Vysotsky plays him well, it is that Vysotsky is the Hamlet of our time.

Vysotsky Jr. noted that the poet occupies a place in the pantheon of national heroes of Russia with Yuri Gagarin and Georgy Zhukov. According to Nikita Vladimirovich, the secret of popular love for his father lies in his honesty and ability to speak on eternal topics that excite a person at all times.

The evening took on a particularly poignant tone after mentioning Marina Vladi's recent care of her life. Nikita Vysotsky spoke warmly about his father’s last wife, calling her a world-class star with an amazing fate.

At the end of the meeting, poems by Vladimir Semyonovich Vysotsky himself, as well as works of poets of the Silver Age, were heard.
