the Main role in it – an elderly writer, lead story about the military time, – takes the honored artist of Russia Boris Galkin. This role is especially important because the actor was personally acquainted with Viktor Astafiev. “Merry men” is a great book about the great war written by a participant of the great Patriotic war, the great writer Victor Astafiev, – said Boris Galkin. – I play on this book suggested that the role of the ASTA. I was quite shocked, because I knew Victor Petrovich personally, and to me it made a lasting impression.

This is a complex work telling the truth, which I think not everyone is ready to hear today. But the veteran Astafjevs had the right to talk about the war as he saw fit…”

“the Main character of the play – Victor Astafiev. He looks from the present into the past, peering into myself – young, gay soldier, – has explained the assistant to the art Director of the Provincial theatre Liana Khusainova. – To re-live their youthful first love, first injury, first loss, first dead German. The story of a soldier Viti is a story about the “other war”, not the officious, “lacquered”, the most axiomatic articles and reports. This is war seen through the eyes of the Russian village people. Because the war is not only fought, but also lived: in love, friends, hated. But precisely because of this routine, from the pain, dirt, despair, and countless casualties – born to win… For ASTA, like many who went through the Great Patriotic war became the main vital exam, the main emotional pain and the main theme in creativity. He came to the front in 1942 as a volunteer, a simple soldier, was wounded three times and ended the war in the same rank”.
