The heart of the show is undoubtedly Vladimir Mashkov and Yevgeny Mironov. Fokin has succeeded in revealing their great potential as character actors.
... In the course of one evening Mironov transforms from a crooked, sleazy bureaucrat into an utter angel in the flesh, not to mention that he has also played Ivan Karamazov in Fokin's
The Karamazovs and Hell.
