metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: For the first time the article gives a biographical study of the major theatrical figure and
  St Petersburg architect I. V. Ekskuzovich. Having graduated from the Institute of Civil Engineers
  in his youth, he has built several buildings in the capital of the Russian Empire, but his
  lifework was the management of academic theaters in Leningrad and Moscow. In this article
  there was first established the existence of the “Ekskuzovich coterie” in 1917, which also included
  V. E. Meyerhold, conductor N. A. Malko and a certain number of the artists of the Mariinsky
  Theatre; the role of the coterie in the nomination of Ekskuzovich to the post of the head
  of the theater department at the end of 1917. The article summarizes the extensive material
  related to his administrative activities in theaters: the role of Ekskuzovich in the creation of
  the association of academic theaters, his official and personal correspondence with artists and
  the People’s Commissar of Education A. V. Lunacharsky. Based on the reviews of memoirists,
  private correspondence of artists and a number of anniversary addresses, a conclusion is made
  about the significant popularity of Ekskuzovich in the artistic environment. It is emphasized
  that the resignation of Ekskuzovich in 1928 took place against the will of Lunacharsky, who
  lost by the end of the 1920s his real power in the People’s Commissariat for Education. The
  activity of Ekskuzovich as a theorist and practitioner in mechanization of the theater stage, as
  well as one of the leading engineers in the park management of Leningrad in the 1930s, is also
  traced. The monograph “The Theater Stage in the Past and Present” published by him in 1930,
  Ekskuzovich’s work on the continuation of this research, as well as his work on equipping the
  stages of Soviet theaters, including the work on the theatrical part of the Palace of Soviets, are
  considered. The article is based mainly on archival data; materials used 13 archives and manuscript
  departments of museums and libraries.
