Abstract

The article dealt with the problems of the disengagement of forces of artists when there was a struggle between realism and modernism, especially in theatre. Both realists and symbolists had their achievements. K. Stanislavsky and V. Nemirovich-Danchenko were true innovators of theatrical art in Russia at the beginning of the century. Moscow Art Theatre created by them became a director’s theatre. The article emphasizes that in the reform activity of K. Stanislavsky and V. Nemirovich-Danchenko a big role belonged to A. Chekhov and M. Gorky. The creative searches of such directors as V. Komissarzhevskaya and Vs. Meyerhold were analyzed. The findings of directors, actors, theatre critics positively influenced theatrical art in the 1920s.
