- Administrative/biographical history:
-
Pavel Pavlovich Gaideburov (1877-1960) was a theatre and film actor, director, and theatrical figure. He was involved in amateur performances as a student, and took acting lessons from P. M. Svobodin. He made his acting debut as Treplev in a Minsk Theatre production of Chekhov’s The Seagull. In 1903, together with his wife, the actress N. F. Skarskaia (the sister of V. F. Komissarzhevskaia), he organised, at Countess S. V. Panina’s Ligovo People’s House, the Public Theatre, which opened on 23 November 1903. On its basis, he established the Mobile Theatre in 1905, which existed until 1928. Aside from classics, the Theatre also staged modern plays by Chekhov, Gorky, Ibsen, and Shaw. In 1906, P. P. Gaideburov and his wife N. F. Skarskaia founded the Publishing House of the Mobile Theatre. In 1933, P. P. Gaideburov organised the new Leningrad Regional Executive Committee Kolkhoz-Sovkhoz Mobile Theatre. In 1944-50, he performed on the stage of the Moscow Chamber Theatre. In 1955, he became an actor of the Vakhtangov Theatre.
Nadezhda Fedorovna Skarskaia (1868-1958) was a theatre and film actress, theatre director, and Distinguished Artist of the RSFSR.
The Russian Institute of Art History (RIII RAS) is a research institute of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation. It was founded in 1912 by Count V P Zubov on the model of Florence’s Istituto statale d’arte. Originally it was called the Institute of Art History and was housed in the mansion of V P Zubov. After the October Revolution, Zubov transferred his home to the new government and the institute became a state institution, in 1920 receiving the new title of Russian Institute of Art History. It has undergone several name changes over the course of its existence – from 1924-31, it was called the State Institute of Art History; from 1933-37, the State Academy of Art History; from 1958-62, the State Research Institute of Theatre, Music, and Cinematography; and since 1992, the Russian Institute of Art History. The institute’s staff included Iu N Tynianov, B M Eikhenbaum, B V Asaf’ev, V M Zhirmunskii, A V Preobrazhenskii and other well-known literary critics and musicologists.
The Manuscripts Office (formerly the Historiography Office, the Office of Archival Fonds) of the Russian Institute of Art History features a collection of unique documents covering Russian musical and theatre life of the 18th to 20th centuries. It was organised in 1938, when the institute received collections of the Leningrad Philharmonic’s Museum of Music History. The Manuscripts Office currently has 130 fonds of personal provenance, as well as a number of other collections.
