[The only Gypsy theater in the world] 50 years of the Gypsy theater "Romen".

Anniversary album dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the Gypsy theater "Romen" in Moscow. There is no such academic theater anywhere else in the world, especially with such a long history. After the October Revolution in 1926, the first decree on settlement for gypsies was issued in Russia, despite this, by 1930, 90 % of gypsies remained nomads. Officially, the idea of creating a Gypsy theater was published in 1930 in the Gypsy magazine "New Way". Georgy and Ivan Lebedev formulated it, then shared it with Moses Goldblat. In October 1930, the group approached the first People's Commissar of Education Anatoly Lunacharsky with a proposal to create a professional Gypsy theater, and a resolution was adopted to create a "musical and dramatic Indo-Romani studio theater" in Moscow. On this occasion, a concert was held at the Bolshoi Theater. On December 25 of the same year, admission exams for the studio of the Gypsy theater began in the premises of the Satire Theater. The selection committee chose young people who performed numbers without "a touch of variety, cliches and melodramatic anguish". As a result, more than 20 first artists were accepted into the troupe. 

An album with an autograph of the actor and the main director of the theater for more than 40 years, Nikolai Slesarenko. A whole epoch in the history of the theater is connected with his name. Unfortunately, he died three weeks ago in Moscow. In good condition, richly illustrated edition.
