Died from the life of Volgograd Director Boris Estrin
On the night of November 15, in the 85th year of his life, Boris Pavlovich Estrin, a director whose work has become an important part of the cultural history of Volgograd, died. His death was reported by family and friends.
A native of Stalingrad, Boris Estrin was a man of rare creative energy – pupils now working in theaters and film studios in Russia and abroad fondly called him “man-planet”. The versatility of his talent allowed Boris Pavlovich to successfully combine different roles: he wrote scripts, staged large-scale city events and invested his soul in theatrical art.
Estrin is especially famous for his festive performances dedicated to the most important dates in the life of the city: he created programs for the birthday of Volgograd, organized Olympic balls, designed celebrations for May 9. Each such event was distinguished by impeccable directing and a special emotional force.
A significant contribution to the theatrical culture of the region was the Youth Theatre of Trade Unions, the main brainchild of Boris Pavlovich. Under his leadership, the team achieved serious recognition: he became a prize-winner and diploma winner of numerous all-Russian festivals and competitions. In total, the director has more than 30 theater productions.
The works of Boris Estrin were appreciated by specialists for their artistic expressiveness, depth of content and spiritual component. His performances did not just impress the audience – they formed a sincere love for the country.
The editorial board of MK in Volgograd brings sincere condolences to the family, friends and everyone who knew and appreciated Boris Pavlovich.
