In Moscow, at the 86th year of his life, the Soviet and Russian director Mark Zakharov, who for many years headed the Lenkom theater in Moscow, died. By his own admission, he never dreamed of becoming a director: he entered the acting department at GITIS, and after graduation he went to the Perm Regional Drama Theater. Zakharov touched the craft of the director by chance, at rehearsals of productions of the student theater in Perm. However, he immediately "felt like a man with a genetic predisposition to this profession." His work - both in the theater and in the cinema - received all-Union fame. Zakharov’s ribbons “12 Chairs”, “Formula of Love”, “Ordinary Miracle” and “The Same Munchausen” replenished the card index of the gold fund of Soviet cinema. And the rock opera “Star and Death of Joaquin Murieta” and the play “Juno and Avos” became real business cards of Lenkom.
