In the modern world, there are processes of globalization that mediate the process of international communication. In the process of international communication, due to objective and subjective reasons, various contacts arise. The closest international cooperation develops into cooperation aimed at setting common goals and solving problems. Today, Russia–China relations are relations between two powers with the highest degree of mutual trust, the highest level of cooperation, and the highest strategic integrity. The relations between the two countries can be called a model of goodneighborly friendship, mutually beneficial cooperation and moral responsibility. Comprehensive cooperation and strategic partnership between the two countries is based on strong political mutual trust and support. Within the framework of the study, the authors analyze the existing points of intercultural cooperation and offer a qualitatively new look at their further development.

The article examines the role and signifi cance of a singer-actor in the system of staging principles of the 1930–1940s. The work shows the changes in the approaches to work on a performance adopted during the designated period and refl ects the basic principles in the work of artists preparing their roles. The author analyses reviews of critics of the 1940s and identifi es approaches to the analysis of stage materials and the place of the description of singers-actors in the articles. The study is carried out on the basis of the 1946 production of S. Prokofi ev’s opera “War and Peace” at the Maly Opera Theatre.

The novella The Forged Coupon [Falshiviy kupon] can be considered one of the most compelling illustrations of the core principle of Tolstoy’s religious philosophy: ‘nonviolent resistance to evil.’ While Tolstoyan anthropology consistently views human nature as inherently good, the novella offers a not unambiguous view of the human soul, which can harbour evil as well. The Forged Coupon is a fascinating example of the indirect dialogue between Tolstoy and Dostoevsky. Dostoevsky’s anthropology and his idea of human nature as a struggle between good and evil appears to play a significant role in Tolstoy’s contemplations. An evil feeling is indeed engendered in the human soul, but with an important caveat that this evil feeling always interacts with external evil. Such an evil combination invariably occurs in the context of broken-off connections, when humanity’s original spiritual integrity is disrupted. In addition, Tolstoy’s later philosophy converges with Dostoevsky’s ideas about the good being a result of the irrational and mystical influence of one man’s spiritual nature on that of another, in a true manifestation of the Christian spirit.

The paper analyses innovative experience of children’s musical theatre “Zazerkalie” (“Through the Looking-Glass”) by the example of the performance “Children’s Album”. Scientific originality of the study lies in the fact that creative activity of A. V. Petrov’s authorial theatre is for the first time examined from the viewpoint of theatre criticism. As a result of the research, it is found out that “Zazerkalie” theatre inherited traditions of conditional theatre of the early XX century. Continuing this tradition, the stage director A. V. Petrov developed a precise model of correlation of music and theatrical action.

Polska kultura teatralna lat dwudziestych XX wieku stała się prawdziwym oknem na Europę dla Nikołaja Jewreinowa, rosyjskiego dramatopisarza, reżysera, teatralnego myśliciela, autora teorii „teatralizacji życia”. Artykuł prezentuje wybrane konteksty polskiej recepcji jego sztuki-manifestu – To, co najważniejsze, od pierwszych inscenizacji w Teatrze im. J. Słowackiego w Krakowie i Teatrze Polskim w Warszawie, poprzez dyskusję nad teoretycznym przesłaniem utworu, aż do prób przyswojenia całości dorobku artystycznego rosyjskiego twórcy. Omawia wpływ twórczości Stanisława Przybyszewskiego na teorię i praktykę gatunku monodramatu Jewreinowa. Porównuje rozumienie naturalizmu oraz poglądy na sztukę aktorską i teatr polskiej aktorki, Stanisławy Wysockiej i Nikołaja Jewreinowa, jej przyjaciela. Przedstawia bilans gościnnych występów rosyjskiego reżysera w Warszawie w 1925: uregulowania prawne, dotyczące jego utworów i nowe kontakty z przedstawicielami świata sztuki, ale też negatywne recenzje. W aneksie ogłoszono wybór korespondencji ludzi polskiego teatru: Zofii Nałkowskiej, Juliana Tuwima, Emila Zegadłowicza, Stanisławy Wysockiej i Eugeniusza Świerczewskiego z Jewreinowem z przełomu lat dwudziestych i trzydziestych XX wieku.
