After that, the transit castle acquired its modern look and the puppet theater moved into it. The main charm of the building is a large, beautifully equipped stage with Shakespearean exits and balconies: they lead to the stage, under the stage and behind the stage. The scene can rise, fall and change in different ways. This is the merit of the People's Artist of the USSR Sergei Vladimirovich Obraztsov. It was he who helped with his advice during perestroika. The first performance based on the works of A. Zelenin was staged in this historical puppet theater. This event occurred in one thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight.
