“But he knew that I was playing there,” Shirvindt noted. The ensemble performed the song “Road Complaints,” which, according to Shirvindt, Zakharov loved to sing.

From the history of Lenkom
The Moscow Lenkom Theater is located in a building built in 1909 for the Moscow Merchants Club. In 1918, the “House of Anarchy” settled within these walls, later - the Communist University, where in 1920 the Third All-Russian Congress of the RKSM took place, at which Ulyanov-Lenin spoke.
In 1927, on the initiative of the Moscow Komsomol, the Working Youth Theater (TRAM) was created in a building on Malaya Dmitrovka, which within four years received professional status, and a little later such famous Moscow Art Theater masters as Sudakov, Stanitsyn, Batalov, Khmelev joined its troupe .
In 1938, the theater was named after the Lenin Komsomol. At the same time, it was headed by the famous actor and director Ivan Bersenev. With his arrival, Simonov and Korneychuk, Lavrenev and Gorky, Turgenev and Rostand were staged here.
A bright period began in the life of the theater when Anatoly Efros became the main director. His productions of plays by Rozov and Radzinsky, Chekhov and Bulgakov generated great public resonance.
And finally, in 1973, its current artistic director, Mark Zakharov, came to the theater. His fame began with the very first performance - "Avtograd XXI" - and continues to this day with the most recent premiere - "The Day of the Oprichnik". Between these productions there were such iconic ones as “Til”, “The Star and Death of Joaquin Murrieta”, “Juno and Avos”, “Crazy Day or The Marriage of Figaro”, “Royal Games”, “ The Cherry Orchard", "Jester Balakirev", "Marriage", "All-In", "Peer Gynt" and others.
Many of these performances still appear on the posters of the theater, which since 1990 has had the ringing name "Lenkom".

Theater is a legend, theater is a teenager. Both of these fully apply to Lenkom, which celebrated its 90th anniversary with youthful enthusiasm the day before. An eternally young theater that challenges time and itself. In 1927, the first professional theater for working youth was created - TRAM. A year later, the inscription “Moscow Theater named after Lenin Komsomol” appeared on its building. And now - “Lenkom” of the 21st century. What has changed and what cannot be changed? - With festive evening reporting by Anna Galinskaya.
No one here believes that the theater is 90. There is an atmosphere of mischief and an inexhaustible flow of energy from the forever young Mark Anatolyevich Zakharov. It’s impossible to get tickets to the theater; there are always huge queues, and today too. But not for tickets, but to congratulate.
Today people do not skimp on compliments, and it is impossible not to praise the theater, not to praise the legendary director. His productions are always greeted with prolonged applause; Mark Zakharov is always calm in appearance. His performances tell the rest. Today Mark Anatolyevich drowned in a prolonged ovation. While they applauded, I remembered the beginning.
“In the culture department of the city party committee they told me: you know what, wash your neck, put on a modest tie, a modest jacket, and you will go to the city committee bureau to see Comrade Grishin. He will appoint you to a serious position,” says director, People’s Artist of the USSR Mark Zakharov.
Chief director for 44 years. Not only the theater - the whole country. Experimenter, revolutionary, innovator. "Lenkom" equals Zakharov.
“I gave up traveling along the Volga in order to be here today,” admits People’s Artist of the USSR Vladimir Spivakov.
“I came to this theater with such pleasure and pleasure because it is young. Last works confirm this, and the age of youth of the soul is not a hindrance,” People’s Artist of Russia Evgeny Knyazev is convinced.
It’s recognizable by the first chords - “Juno and Avos” has been seen on this stage 1,500 times. Absolute record. And every performance, and every Lenkomov member, lays claim to the title of record holder. For their sake, the Chinese princess Turandot also changed her plans - she prepared a crystal pink bouquet. One precious flower for each folk artist of the troupe.
"It is very nice. It is fortunate that our theater is 90 years old. Maybe this is not a very round date, but it is wonderful. She is ours. I have had the honor of serving in this theater for more than 30 years, and I am happy about it. This is probably why I was given this award,” says People's Artist Russia Alexandra Zakharov.
“Any gift or award is not valuable in itself, but because of what date, what event it was presented to, what year,” notes People’s Artist of Russia Elena Shanina. 90 years is such an amazing date.”
“I am very glad that the theater at 90 years old has such a vital tone, and our latest premiere “Day of the Oprichnik” proves this. An absolutely reckless performance by the young director Zakharov,” says People’s Artist of Russia Dmitry Pevtsov.
The young director has been awarded all possible orders and theater awards, including more than once the Crystal Turandot, the most elegant award. But here’s another one, an individual one - for the creation of the Lenkom Theater.
