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 want to leave my feedback because I myself have been looking for a clairvoyant for a long time who really sees and doesn't just tell "general phrases". I contacted a woman, I won't write her name so as not to harm, but I will leave her number - +16463779379. She told my fortune with Tarot, and everything she said came true literally a month later. She helped me get my loved one back, told me why he left and who interfered. She did a cleansing, removed the negativity and put up protection. Honestly - after that everything started to get better. He himself started writing, inviting me to meet. Now we are together again, as before. I am very grateful to her!
The clairvoyant was very helpful +38099-292-71-82 Viber
I'm writing this with trembling hands... I still can't believe that he's here, sleeping next to me, hugging me at night, and not her. My husband left... Not just left... he was taken from his job by a woman with no shame or conscience. I felt him slipping away: the coldness in his eyes, the distance, the lies. He left without looking back. He left me with a child, with empty walls and a broken heart. We were together for 13 years... 13 years of love, pain, joy. And then it all collapsed in an instant. I was dying inside. No one understood how much pain it was. My friends said, "Forget it." But I couldn't. My soul was breaking. He was mine. I knew it. In my heart. In despair, I found reviews of Matushka Raisa on Google. I wrote to her in tears. I don't remember what I wrote... everything was like a fog. She answered very calmly: Don't cry, girl. He's not hers. His soul is still with you. We'll bring him back. But believe. She saw everything: the rival, the husband's weakness, and my feelings, as if in the palm of your hand. She performed the ritual. She said: Give it three days. And don't doubt. On the second day, he called. He spoke quietly, as if ashamed. He said that he felt like he'd woken up. That he couldn't breathe without me. On the third day, he stood on the threshold. With flowers. With eyes full of remorse. He said: Forgive me. I don't know what came over me. I want to go home. We are together again. But now every evening I pray and thank Mother Raisa. For hearing me. For protecting my family. This is not just help. This is a miracle. If you're in despair and don't know where to turn, go to her. Mother Raisa is a light in the darkest darkness. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help! Her number is +38099-292-71-82 on Viber.

I want to share the most important story of my life, the one that changed everything. I thought I'd lost the man I loved forever. He left, and my heart was shattered into a thousand pieces.

Lilia not only saw my pain but also penetrated the very essence of my experiences, telling me what was hidden even from myself. She explained to me the blocks standing between me and my man, what was preventing us from being together, and how I could change them. Her words were more than just consolation—they became the key that unlocked the heart of my beloved. Lilia gave me specific advice on how to change my inner energy and how to restore my relationship. She didn't promise miracles, but her confidence and accuracy in her predictions gave me the strength to act. I followed her recommendations, and a few weeks later, my man returned to my life. We found each other again, and our love became even stronger and deeper. I am sincerely grateful to Lilia for restoring my world.
