Sergey Bezrukov has got one of the most prestigious professional awards in the world of the theatre — the Stanislavsky Award. This award is given for 21 years in a row the most outstanding figures of Melpomene. This year due to financial difficulties, the winners were left without cash incentives. But the winners did not upset. After all the diplomas and memorable signs with the name of Stanislavsky, which they have received, symbolize much more — the recognition of the talent of the winners from the professional community.
