Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree on awarding the artistic director of the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater, People's Artist of the USSR, Oleg Tabakov, the Order of Merit to the Fatherland, 1st degree.

On August 17, the president personally called Tabakov, congratulated the artist on his 75th birthday and wished him health and new creative achievements. Dmitry Medvedev noted the bright talent of Tabakov, his memorable roles in cinema and theater …

And the Moscow Art Theater. Chekhov yesterday met his "commander-in-chief" with drum rolls and three-fold "Hurray!" performed by the stars of Russian culture, among whom were noticed Renata Litvinova, Veniamin Smekhov, Sergey Yursky, Evgenia Dobrovolskaya, Andrey Myagkov and Irina Miroshnichenko …

Entering the courtyard of the Moscow Art Theater, Oleg Pavlovich led his youngest daughter Masha by the hand. The Tabakovs arrived at the celebration with the whole family: Marina Zudina, son Pavel, daughter Masha and Oleg Pavlovich himself.

Actor Dmitry Nazarov acted as an entertainer at the festive banquet, but the hero of the day took the first floor. He began by mentioning Oleg Nikolaevich Efremov, who devoted 30 years to the Art Theater …

Well, then came the toasts and the presentation of gifts. Native "Snuffbox" gave her founding father branded suitcases, hinting that Tabakov was on the road all the time. Moscow Art Theater Chekhov is a designer chair with bells and whistles: armrests for plates, glasses and paper. Actor Sergei Yursky gave Tabakov a scrap, because the hero of the day dreamed in his youth that his theater would have a "scrap of spectators" …

As you know, in 1953, Tabakov entered the Moscow Art Theater School, after which he was assigned to the Stanislavsky Moscow Drama Theater. Soon, Tabakov moved to the Studio of Young Actors created by Oleg Efremov, which was then transformed into the Sovremennik Theater. Tabakov worked at Sovremennik from 1957 to 1983. In 1985, he became the rector of the Moscow Art Theater School, and a year later he created the Oleg Tabakov Theater-Studio, which received the nickname "Snuffbox". In 1987, together with Oleg Efremov, he moved to the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater, and in 2001 he became the artistic director of this theater, continuing to work there as an actor and director.

In addition to working in the theater, Tabakov starred in many films, playing, in particular, in the films "War and Peace", "Seventeen Moments of Spring", "Unfinished Piece for Mechanical Piano", "Twelve Chairs", "D'Artagnan and the Three Musketeers", "A few days in Oblomov's life", "Moscow does not believe in tears", "Mary Poppins, goodbye!", "The Man from Boulevard des Capucines" and others.
