"... On the one hundred and eighty-fourth kilometer from Moscow on the branch that goes to Murom and Kazan, from the good half a year after that, all the trains slowed down almost as if to a touch." Passengers clung to the windows, went out into the vestibule: Is it out of the schedule?

No. After passing the train, the train picked up speed again, the passengers sat down.

Only the machinists knew and remembered why it was all.

Yes I."

A short story by AI. Solzhenitsyn's Matryon Yard, written half a century ago and published in 1963 in the journal Novy Mir, headed by A. Tvardovsky, became an event in literature, the word of truth about the fate of a simple woman - modest, conscientious, with a huge and bright soul.

"We all lived next to her and did not understand that she is the righteous person without whom, according to the proverb, there is no village, no city, no whole of our land" (AI Solzhenitsyn).

The idea of ​​creating a stage version of the story belongs to Alexander Mikhailov, he lived with this idea for a long time, until he shared it with Professor Shchukin School V.V. Ivanov - director of the Theater. Evgeny Vakhtangov. Desires coincided.
