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." ".

It would have been different in another life when my friend, Natalya, took the speeches, took the children and just went. She filed for separation, and it seemed to me that my world was destroyed. I spent months not finding my place, trying to talk to her, but she was like a wall. Our children, son and daughter, also suffered. I realized this and felt hopeless. Then I decided to go wild to Andriy’s molfar. I arrived before the new one, and this man... immediately cut me to the bone. He didn’t ask me about anything, but found out what had happened, naming names and important dates. This was not just hostile, but kindly shocking. Andriy waited a moment to help, but went ahead, which would be required at any time and in my opinion. Believe in Andriy’s strength, after such a diagnosis, it was lost, and often not food, fragments of smut, so that there was a result. Prote everything was supposed to be swedishly thought out. For many years now, we have been encouraging contacts via WhatsApp at Andria +380932169225. We conducted singing rituals that were based on ancient magical traditions and gave me the benefit of my behavior. After a couple of years, Natalya started working on the phone. Just like that. Vona said that she wanted to get together. We talked, and she cried, saying that she herself didn’t understand why she had done this, so that no one would hang around her. A week later she turned home, and we began to live together. Our hundreds have become more valuable, no matter what. Molfar Andriy took over our homeland. I will forever be grateful for those who turned me away from my squad and my children. If necessary, don’t waste an hour and write to Andriy at your number. We will definitely show you how best to do it, or even detail how you can ask for help.
A tribute about Matrona - the woman who turned my heart and turned my head
A little about Matrona - the woman who turned my heart and turned my man. I never thought that I could be like this... The man with whom we have passed so many rocks at once, changing in rapture... becoming a stranger, cold. And then just drink. Having lost your empty home and heart, break into friends. I burst into tears at night, caught myself in my thoughts, and I can no longer feel the truth. It seemed to me that life was over. For the joy of someone I knew, I ran to Matronya. Honestly, I left through the fog, without hope, just to listen to me. If only I could see those warm, deep eyes that could pierce my soul... I realized that I didn’t come for nothing. Vaughn said that she felt in my homeland that there were no ties between us and the man, he was simply overwhelmed by the dark image and someone else’s influx. The matron performed the ceremony. That evening I cried, and washed away everything that had accumulated in my soul over many months. And then the changes began. Lightness at the beginning, then a ringing sound from the man. His voice is trembling... He said that he can do it, that he wants to straighten everything out. A few days later I turned home. Just taking my hands and whispering: “Probach. I realized that I can’t live without you.” That’s why I’m dear to the Matrona of God. She turned not just a person... she turned the sense of life, warmth, and faith into wonder. Matrona is a person with a heavenly gift, a kind heart and a great soul. Dear Matrono, you have become a dear to me. I thank you for those who turned their love back, for I have already mourned the strength and the light will never go out. You will lose my heart forever. ЇЇ number +380630228999 viber/whatsapp
