On Broadway at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre, The Patriots is a play about the modern-day rise of a Russian dictator, directed by Rupert Gould and written by Peter Morgan, the creator of Netflix's The Crown. The main character of the play is billionaire Boris Berezovsky (Michael Stuhlbarg), who helped the ascension to the throne of the previously unknown Vladimir Putin, who has since firmly occupied the helm of post-Soviet Russia. Will Keane (V. Putin) and Michael Stuhlbarg (B. Berezovsky) transform into an oligarch and dictator in the greatest way on stage.
Boris Berezovsky began his eventful professional life as a little-known Soviet mathematician. After the fall of communism, he became the most famous of the post-Soviet oligarchs, making billions from oil and mass media. His access to and influence over Boris Yeltsin reminded some of Grigory Rasputin. In 1996, with Yeltsin weakened by heart problems and alcoholism, Berezovsky and other oligarchs orchestrated his re-election. In exchange, Yeltsin held sham auctions to privatize huge state-owned enterprises, which Berezovsky and his allies “won.” At one point, Berezovsky nominated Vladimir Putin, a mid-level KGB officer, to the forefront of Kremlin politics. When Putin was allowed to power after Yeltsin, Berezovsky had every reason to believe that Putin would be as obedient as Yeltsin, and this turned out to be a fatal miscalculation. Berezovsky tried to organize information and business opposition, warning of an "authoritarian regime." He exiled himself to England, where he opposed his former protégé and survived several assassination attempts. In 2013, he was found hanged in his bathroom. "Berezovsky accepted Putin for who he was, or at least as he presented himself," actor Michael Stuhlbarg said recently. In The Patriots, Stuhlbarg plays Berezovsky: wild, twisted and melodramatic. Keen watched a lot of videos of Putin. "There's a video of him playing table tennis on holiday, it looks pretty awkward," Keene says as veal dumplings are placed in front of him. He was intrigued by Putin's "little ironic smile." "Body-wise, everyone talks about how his left arm swings while his right arm stays at his hip, which appears to be a KGB move. There are theories that it has to do with keeping his arm ready to fire." Keane continued to play the role of the Russian dictator in the play even when Putin's power became more sinister: the war in Ukraine, the death of Alexei Navalny. Stuhlbarg suggested that Berezovsky would be "furiously angry that this little man is still in office." The day before the play opened at the Ethel Barrymore Theater on West 47, Stuhlbarg was jogging when he was hit in the head with a rock by a stranger. Stuhlbarg tried to take a photo and the police arrested the suspect at the Russian consulate - how ironic! Despite the bruises, Stuhlbarg performed for the first time on opening night the next day. "It was a very shocking incident. And the place where he hit me really hurt," he said. "Suddenly, emotions start coming out of you. And where better to apply them than in this such a ferocious play?" In 1994, Berezovsky survived a car explosion. Stuhlbarg described the "strange parallelism" of the running attack with "what Boris goes through in the play when the killers blow up the car." He continued: "Boris felt like he had a second chance at life. And in a way, that's what I experienced, this opportunity to have another chance at life or another opportunity to do a play. I'm so grateful to be alive." ".

I thought it was all over. My husband had grown cold, the house was cold, and there were constant arguments. A friend practically insisted: "Go to Lilya, she brings people back to life." At first, I didn't believe her, but after the first consultation, it was like a weight had been lifted from my soul. Lilya said we were cursed with discord. She performed several rituals, and within a couple of days, my husband became softer and started smiling. Now we live like before, even better—with love and respect. Lilya, thank you, my dear, and I bow low to you for bringing warmth back into our hearts! Her number is (380638055486, Viber, WhatsApp). +19297133433
Molfar Andriy took over my homeland. After ten years of love, the man left the house and filed for separation. Once upon a time, two healthy children lived well and happily. And here it’s like this... It’s become a mess. It's Saturday evening. The day before, the man became movable and aloof, and then changed his personalities at the initial meeting, saying that he wanted to put an end to the past and began to walk away from us. Having picked up our quick words and told them without telling us where we were going. Then he went through a lawyer and became completely a stranger. The process of separation was more difficult than usual. During this hour, the man began to live differently and avoided children. I have experienced so much pain that now I am amazed that I did not endure and did not lose my health. She's lost a lot of weight and has become darker. Life was practically ruined, and I lost myself with two children and did not understand what happened next. Already a few months after the separation, I realized that I definitely can’t live without a man. I can’t forget him and let him go from my soul. So, since I’ve put information about Andriy’s molfar on my contacts, I haven’t talked about it for a long time and I wrote a WhatsApp message to the number +380932169225 and I asked about a consultation. I was immediately struck by the fact that Andriy had grown up and fed me nothing. As I spoke, my heart sank. Andriy revealed everything in detail. Enemy gift. Alas, let’s explain how everything can be brought into order. I asked him without any help to carry out daily work. Less than three years ago, my man with repentance was at home. My dear and dear man. For the longest time I couldn’t believe my happiness because everything was lost behind me. And now it seems that something was different from us. I will forever be grateful to Molfar Andriy for those who took away our homeland with his man. Skoda immediately talked about those who immediately began to ask for help and didn’t know Andriya’s contacts, and that’s how it all began. Raju don’t suffer, don’t worry, don’t waste an hour, but immediately get to Andriy because you’re in trouble.
