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 never thought I'd be in this state. When my loved one left, it was like I was cut off from life. I'd wake up with a lump in my throat. I'd lie down and the silence would be so oppressive I wanted to scream. I didn't eat, I didn't sleep, I just lived on autopilot. The world turned gray, as if someone had taken all the warmth from it. And then, in this state, I accidentally came across a review about a woman who helps people get out of such pits. I read and cried. And I decided to write to her, although one thing was in my head... Why? It's all over already... She asked for a photo and literally from the first words said something that sent a chill down my spine. Such things are not made up, not guessed. I sat with my phone in my hands and simply couldn't believe that someone truly heard me. I asked her for help, because inside me there was only fear and a broken heart. She said that I was not alone. And that there was a chance. And... something happened that I no longer expected. After a while, he wrote himself. He called himself. His voice was shaking... mine too. And when he stood at the door of my house, I didn’t believe that this was all not a dream. It was like coming back to life. As if I was pulled by the hand from the depths where I had already stopped fighting. I don’t know how to explain everything that happened. But I know for sure: this man became my salvation at that moment, when the world around me collapsed, and I had no more strength. I recommend a phone number for contact (+380638055486, there is Viber and WhatsApp, also another US number +19297133433
When my husband left, I was in despair. It seemed like my whole life had lost its meaning. I tried everything...talking, persuading, friends' advice, but nothing helped. Then I decided to turn to Raisa. I'll be honest: at first I was skeptical, but her rituals really do work! After her help, everything began to change literally before my eyes. My husband, who hadn't even wanted to talk to me, suddenly took the initiative, wrote, called, and started looking for meetings. And a short time later, he returned home, and I felt loved again. These rituals seemed to open his eyes and lifted the coldness that had stood between us. Now our family is once again filled with peace, love, and happiness. I thank Raisa with all my heart for her help and for bringing back what's most precious to me—my husband and family. Her power and rituals are a true miracle! Here's her number: +380992927182, Viber/WhatsApp.

Thank you, Lilia, for your help, support, and the strength you bring to our work! You've given me back not only my husband, but also my faith in miracles.
I want to leave a sincere review of the wonderful clairvoyant Lilia. When my husband left our family, I was devastated. We had been together for many years, and his sudden decision to leave simply knocked the wind out from under me. I tried everything: talking, advice from friends, psychologists—nothing helped. At some point, I was advised to contact Lilia. At first, I was hesitant—after all, the topic of esotericism had previously been far from me. But something inside told me to give it a try. From the first consultation, Lilia inspired confidence in me. She didn't ask unnecessary questions; she immediately told me things only I knew. She performed a cleansing, a relationship-restoration ritual, and gave several personal recommendations. A couple of weeks later, my husband started contacting me. He seemed different: calmer, as if he realized he truly wanted to be with me. Now we are back together, and our relationship has entered a new, deeper and more sincere stage. Thank you, Lilia, for your help, support, and the strength with which you work! You have given me back not only my husband, but also my faith in miracles. I will leave you her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433
