Maria Mashkova in the play "The Nadezhdins"
Actress Maria Mashkova, known not only for her roles in film and theater, but also for her courageous civic stance, will present in Germany the acclaimed play "Nadezhdiny". At the heart of this dramatic love story, developing against the backdrop of the collapse of the Empire and the revolution, the real story of the ancestors of the actress herself.
The play tells the love story of an uncompromising publicist, a young exiled revolutionary Evgeny Nadezhdin and Melania Sevruk - the great-grandmother of the famous actress and rising Hollywood star Masha Mashkova ("Limonov" by K. Serebrennikov, "For All Mankind", I.S.S., etc.). Being not only an associate but also the main opponent of Lenin, Nadezhdin was destroyed by the Soviet regime and deliberately erased from the memory of contemporaries.
