On October 30, the main stage of the Yevgeny Vakhtangov Theatre in Moscow will host the premiere of a performance dedicated to a special military operation. This was reported in the administration of Kursk.

The basis of the production “In my chest the bell...” directed by Eldar Tramov was the texts of modern authors and classics of Russian literature.
