History

The origin of such a phenomenon was possible only here, where closely intertwined, and together they coexisted so different and vibrant culture. In 1920 a decision of the Central Executive Committee was created, the Karelian labor commune, which includes the Arkhangelsk and Olonets province countryside. But only after the Civil war, the newly formed region was able to launch a full life.

In 1921, a few immigrants from Finland headed by Victor Linden formed a company in the building of the national drama, it is from here originates the history of this unique cultural phenomenon as Karelian national theatre. Petrozavodsk at the time had been a regional center, and the government needed such spiritual nourishment to strengthen the status of the Soviet government. The idea of matching on stage of different nationalities was impressed by the new leadership, so enthusiasts all supported.

The Official date, when was founded the national theatre of Karelia can be considered October 15, 1931. By this time the troupe of emigrants from Finland, USA and Canada who came to build socialism, joined by graduates of the dramatic technique and other talented actors and Directors gathered at the villages. Leader was Kuuno Sevander, fairly well-known American composer and musician. And the first play was a very meaningful sense – “Fault” Boris Lavrenov, at the premiere attended by the author.

During the war

In 1937–1938 national theatre of the Republic of Karelia is experiencing not the best period in its history. Political developments in the country concerned and the multinational company, was arrested 10 of the 15 men arrested and artistic Director Ragnar nyström, none of them never returned. Many argue that one of the reasons was the staging of Chekhov's vaudevilles in the Karelian language, the authorities considered such an attempt a manifestation of bourgeois nationalism. The theatre itself was closed, and later, during the Soviet-Finnish war the actors were taken to the Leningrad.

To Resume work was only in 1940, when the Karelian ASSR was transformed into Karelian-Finnish Socialist Republic. The first work set after the difficult years of repression, was the play of Maxim Gorky "Yegor Bulychev”. Almost from the beginning of the war this territory was under the occupation of Finland, and the whole group of actors were evacuated to Siberia, and later in Arkhangelsk oblast. The troupe did not stop performances in the difficult conditions of travel, and under the leadership of N. V. Demidova even received recognition from the cultural leaders for staging the play "Doll house" Ibsen.

Uniqueness

The Main task for the Ministers of the scene was to familiarize the audience with the world drama, and all the performances were in different languages. Soviet works were also translated into Karelian and Finnish: “Enemies” Maxim Gorky, "Platon Krechet” Korneichuk, etc., and even for some time remained the leading shows. Policy guidance was aimed at overcoming a language barrier, so here for the first time in the USSR began to use headphones for simultaneous translation.

A Great contribution to the possibility of the existence of such a multilingual culture has made the Finnish drama theatre, style of play and flow there was markedly different from Russian, so the Directors always tried to harmoniously combine two different cultures on one stage. Here constantly worked famous Directors of the country: I. Olsvanger, L. Chavez, f Berman, Courtauld Nuotio, the last staged here “witch Hunt” A. Miller. In 1951, the troupe successfully performed in Moscow, where the programme included the play “Vassa Zheleznova” after M. Gorky, fulfilled with a Finnish twist.
