OPEN THEATER OF ALEXEY STRELNIKOV
02/05/2025
February 5 is Lesha's birthday. This year he would have turned 42. As always, on this day, all the people close to Alexey remembered him and shared their memories. We learned that a book of his texts will be published very soon - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScdMiggsi6B71rvizCSl9Vs2twp80m_c5Y4FswFl_Mr1eKQiw/viewform?usp=sf_link
And in the evening, there was a call in which Alexey's friends shared their memories of him.
Participants shared previously unknown photos of Alexey, here they are - 
12.15.2024 On the eve of the two years of the most mournful event, I made an attempt to place an article about Alexei in a risk -language Wikipedia. (Belarusian -language Wikipedia, unfortunately, is not available for editing for a long time). Unfortunately, the attempt was unsuccessful, since the main editors of Wikipedia are very far from culture and any manifestation of feelings to the subject of the article is considered advertising. From this, the value of Russian -speaking Wikipedia fell greatly in my eyes.

In the forest near the village of Belaya Tserkov, amazingly looking singing trees have appeared. Incomprehensible sounds from the speakers, colored installations, canisters on the branches. What is this? The singing trees are part of the Sprava memorial project https://sadorchestra.space/. Its author is Matvey Saburov, the man who gave us the now iconic Sprava festival. Sad Orchestra already has trees dedicated to the memory of the famous drummer Artem Zalessky, avant-garde guitarist Leonid Narushevich, and director and theater critic Alexey Strelnikov.

Alexey loved to travel, and the photographs sent by his friend illustrate this side of Alyosha's life. They date back to the period 2004-2006 and were mostly taken during hitchhiking trips around Europe.
All the photos can be seen in the "Photo Gallery" section, here is the link: https://free-teatr-aleks-strel.net/en/home-3/photo-gallery.html

Belarusian Theater Institute (https://t.me/belarustheatreorg) right to online discussion in memory of Aliaksei Strelnikav.
This is what the shelter for Alexey's body looks like now.
And HIS soul is in our hearts.

I will express, perhaps, a very controversial thought, but it seems to me that the main fundamental thoughts about life and its alternative have already been written. And all that remains for us is to try to express what has already been said in our own words. Not many succeed in this better than in the original source.
There is a war of non-existent enemies.
Candles burn in churches for the murdered.
Pray, and perhaps there will be a little less fools
In the country without a family.
But for now, hundreds of women are covered
In the banners of black, mourning scarves.Light the candles, let the bells fall silent,
Light the candles, stop the clock,
Light the candles on a day when there is so much evil in the world,
That even God has hidden his face from us.
Light the candles when a mother buries her son,
Light the candles when there is a war outside the windows,
When we have all gone mad, but God has not abandoned us yet,
Light the candles.
I suppose I could say it shorter and brighter, but I can't do it. Maybe you can.

Everyone who was closely acquainted with Alexey knows that Vadim Alekseevich Saleev was Alexey’s first teacher and then mentor. Today is Vadim Alekseevich's birthday. Alexey always treated Vadim Alekseevich with great warmth and respect. Today we, people close to Alexey, want to congratulate Vadim Alekseevich Saleev on his 85th birthday and wish him health and great creative success.

Roman Zimberov Publishing house has published the first book "Inside Words: an anthology of modern Belarusian drama" in the series "Arrows of Silence" dedicated to the memory of Alexei Strelnikov. From the opening words: "This book was born as an echo of never tired steps. Creative search, striving forward, which even the last step could not stop ― towards eternity. I immediately remember how sensitively, emancipatedly and naturally, and at the same time theoretically verified, professionally, Alexey Strelnikov spoke about plays and performances. How sincerely his eyes lit up in response to the attempts of the authors and performers to say a new word about the harsh social reality and dream, about the search for self-identity and the place of his generation in history. But the point, perhaps, is not even the novelty. Alexey was able to hear everything that was born of enthusiasm, inspiration by art – a special sphere that does not oppose everyday life, but organically complements it, coloring the anxious, acutely social, sick in kaleidoscopic tones. Bringing it all into a new dimension with unconditional faith in a person, surprisingly delicate."

Today, everyone who cared about Alexey will undoubtedly remember that today he could have turned 41 years old. Today, as the closest relatives, we visited Alexey's last resting place. We were pleasantly surprised by the fresh flowers on his grave. Many thanks to everyone who remembers Alexey and grieves with us about his premature passing. In tribute to his memory, I would like to publish his poems written in 2011.<.h5>
It is important to stop
at the moment when God is born to you ...
it is not necessary to pray, it is enough to remember the face those who once helped you.
whoever is sitting inside you,
freezing with fear, sticking with disgust, pushing you to do nasty things,
it is at this moment
that you will be able to arrange with him.
you, as well as everyone around you,
will then be returned to the track of life in order to roll on to who knows where and why.
but that will be later.
Now smile through what's rolling out of your eye.
10.01.2024 It took some time before the information on our website was updated. I apologize to all visitors to our site. The anniversary of the loss of a loved one is a sad date and it carries nothing but negativity for me. Therefore, the anniversary of the loss of his son I'm not going to celebrate, and if I had the power, I would even celebrate this date I excluded it from the calendar. December 17 did not go unnoticed by people close to Alexei.And at that time, a number of events dedicated to this unfortunate date took place. If We have information about noteworthy events, it will be published. In the meantime, I would like to present to your attention Alexey's publication dedicated to Svetlana Ben.This 2009 publication seems to me to have been written yesterday. And it's all about Alexey. The summary of this publication was especially hooked: "The theater begins to excite me when I see or feel that people are really interested in what they are doing, when they have something to say, when they don't care if they are understood. Even if what I see is unclear to me, distant or unpleasant. Agitation and indifference are contagious things. Alexey Strelnikov. The article itself is published on our website.

Back in the spring, an article by Elena Lepisheva was published in the magazine "Verb"
The article was written at a good professional level, so it took some time to comprehend its place on our site. It was decided to create a separate section for the publication of articles assessing the role of A.Strelnikov in Belarusian theater studies. Many thanks to Elena for evaluating Alexey's contribution to the development of the Belarusian theater.
COMMENTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE TO ALL VISITORS.
WE ARE INTERESTED IN YOUR OPINIONS.

THANK you so much, Hanna, for your kind words and attitude towards Alexey.
BLESSED IS HIS MEMORY,
Belarusian poet Anna Komar this year released a poetry collection "Plantain" (Ribwort). It has a dedication to Lesha Strelnikov.
Anna:
"I'm a poet, but I've hardly been writing poetry for the last two years. When Lyosha was no longer with us, it was important for me to find the words. So that the pain is not stronger than poetry. This line became a dedication to Lesha in my book. I didn't put dates next to it-just let him be with us."
The book can be found here:

"On September 24, at the Congress of Researchers of Belarus, the panel "Belarusian Dramaturgy and Theater of the 2020s: vectors of development, names, attempts to breathe" was held, dedicated to the memory of Alexey Strelnikov, a venerable colleague, sincere person, friend, leader of the Belarusian artistic underground.
The panel's work consisted of three parts, which reflected both the multifaceted personality of Alexey - a man of "Renaissance beauty" (according to the definition of A. Kiselyov) - and the current problems of modern theatrical and dramatic art in Belarus, the development of which was largely accumulated by creative energy, professionalism and talent of Strelnikov.
The abstracts of researchers from Belarus, Poland, Lithuania were presented, the discussion was coordinated with participation in the formats of - and online, one of the longest and most emotional at the Congress. It was very felt that the participants were interested in consolidation, looking for opportunities to create a space for dialogue and joint creative search.
We sincerely hope that the panel on drama and theater, held for the first time at the Congress, will become such a space, a place for joint work in the field of independent art. This is seen as a special symbolism -the preservation of the memory of Alexey Strelnikov, a man who throughout his life linked different people, combined different roles in the artistic process, took care that everyone's voice was heard."

What poems did Alexey like? Something like this:(If someone dares to translate these poems into English, send them to the post office and they will be published here immediately.)
Пред Родиной, конечно, неудобно…
Долги, конечно, нужно отдавать…
Но почему она – в уплату долга –
С нас требует кого-то убивать?
И коль у вас пред ней долги такие,
Что даже жизнь – в уплату их – пустяк,
То хочется спросить вас, дорогие,
Зачем же вы одалживались так?
Коль Родина удар наносит сзади,
Да так, что аж в глазах потом круги,
То лучше, дорогие, не влезайте
Вы к этой страшной Родине в долги
(Леонид Филатов)

Six months without Alyosha
I found these lines from Alexey, maybe it's his.
what can you wish for the sea?
the sea does not need anything.
the sea doesn't want anything.
the sea appeared without a purpose.
the sea will disappear with everything.
Can I borrow something from the wind?
the wind is only air.
we do not see the wind, but the clouds
of a blizzard, or leaf fall.
wind and sea create waves.
this beauty will always be in my heart.
I wish you praise.
To aba that was to break into pieces

as a child, I had such a terrible disease that I had to eat earth three times a day, otherwise I would have died.
I was lucky that my older sister taught me what to do.
p.s. happy birthday, Marishka!

In accordance with the date, I would like to recall the end of April 2015.
Alexey comes to us and asks me:
Dad was your father awarded for participating in the Second World War?
- they did not award for participation, I answer, but your grandfather had two orders - "asterisk" and "banner" for specific actions during the Second World War.
He says: "I found some documents here in the archives of the SA, look, he gives me a flash drive, I look and see:
I say: "Well, you're a good son - it's your grandfather Alexey. And I took these orders off the pads and handed them to the representatives of the military enlistment office in 1966 after his funeral.
- Alexey asks: "So we have something to remember?"
- I answer: "Of course there is. And we will remember."

Tomorrow is radunitsa.
Radunitsa is considered a parent's day. Traditionally, it is celebrated on the ninth day after Easter. It is customary to go to the cemetery on Radunitsa in order to share the joy of the Resurrection of Christ with their deceased relatives. I want to light a candle in memory of my son. Bright memory to you, Lyosha!!!

GREETINGS FROM ALYOSHA TO EVERYONE, Today we visited the last resting place of his body, we cleared the Leshino space from our winter sorrow, and today it looked like this:
Memorial Day is approaching, and it seems to me that Alexey would urge us to look to the future with optimism. In the future, everything just has to be good for all of us
09.04.2023
In the section "Echo of Lesha's Life" one of Alyosha's last texts is published, his view of the play by Yu. Divakov's "Song of Songs" text is dated October 2021.

Debugging of the German version of the site has been completed and the site is now available in German. The structure of the site has also been significantly simplified and site search has been introduced, both by keywords and simply by a combination of letters (at least three)
19.03.2023
In the coming days, the German version of the site will be debugged in test mode. We apologize for the temporary inconvenience.

March is traditionally a theatrical month. It is especially difficult to live it without Alexey, without his reviews and advice, without his Theatrical results, which he organized and published in Theatrical Belarus.
The site is no longer there, we will try to restore the archive, but it's all about the past, and Leshka lived in the present and the future…
Let's create a heading on the site "Echo of Leshina's Life – ELL", where you can tell about an event that would interest him.
Which performance would he celebrate from 2022?
Do you have any achievements that you would like to share with Lesha? Let's write about it on the website and we, together with our closest friends, will be able to rejoice for you or cheer you up if everything does not work out, as Alex would have done.
12.03.2023 г.
In the section "Biography" there is a big gap in the time of Alexey's studies at Gymnasium No. 10 in Minsk and at the Faculty of Journalism of BSU. I don't want to just unsubscribe (studied and graduated, etc.). Therefore, the section has created items "Gymnasium" and BSU, m I hope that there will be friends of Alexey. which will help fill this gap in Alexey's biography.
07.03.2023 г.
It would be strange if congratulations on the upcoming International Women's Day on March 8 did not sound on this site. Congratulations to all girls, girls, women on your holiday. Be happy and live long. That's what my son would say, and I agree with him.
03.03.2023 г.
In the Projects/Miscellaneous section: https://free-teatr-aleks-strel.net/proekty/raznoe.html three videos from the Wir.by website are published in which Aleksei expresses his opinion on how to properly watch certain performances. Evgeny Karnyi's performances are always in the center of attention of the theater community.
A guideline from critic Alexei Strelnikov will prepare you for any directorial innovations of the performances of "Notes of a Young Doctor" at the Puppet Theater or "Beton"
in the Theater of Belarusian Drama.
From today the site is available in three languages. Comments are accepted.
It's no secret how much Aleksey connects with the Head-Leg Theater. Alexei did not participate in the creation of this theatre, but with his arrival the theater gained a soul, because Alexei invested his generous soul in this theater. I would like to say a huge THANK YOU to all the actors of the "Head-Leg" theater - you helped to reveal the best qualities of Alexei, and HE tried to reveal your best acting qualities.
I think it deserves a separate menu item. And it's created - https://free-teatr-aleks-strel.net/golova-noga?format=html
Many thanks to Ekaterina Karpitskaya, who sent the correction of the Belarusian-language pages of the site, as well as sent a large number of materials about Alexei. Also interesting is the link sent to her to the site of the theater "Head-Leg" -https://dziaineka.github.io/golovanoga/.
Submitted materials will be published in the "Feedback from friends" section. - https://free-teatr-aleks-strel.net/aleksej-strelnikov/otzyvy-druzej.html
In the family archives, one of the first sites was found, created on the initiative of Alexei in 2005. By publishing this version, we do not claim the copyright of the authors of this site. And if the authors claim, they are ready to consider their claims. But in the section "About the site" all those who participated in the creation are listed. Here is the link: https://bellitalman.free-teatr-aleks-strel.net/index.html
Reviews of friends began to arrive in the mail and a section "Friends Reviews" was created for their publication: https://free-teatr-aleks-strel.net/aleksej-strelnikov/otzyvy-druzej?format=html

Today we visited the resting place of Alexei's body on his fortieth birthday. The place looks like this today:
And at the feast, the thought sounded that it would be great if the key facets of Alyosha's character - indifference, disinterestedness and kindness, all of us continued to distribute.
On the eve of Aleksey's birthday, and given his reverent attitude towards the Belarusian language, one of the languages of the site is now Belarusian. Since I do not speak Belarusian, to the same extent as Alexei, I will be glad for any comments about the Belarusian version of the site.
You can send materials to Alexey's cloud at https://cloud.mail.ru/public/eDas/CFQB3Nb9v
Recall the first lines of the biography. Alexey was born on February 5, 1983. In a week he could be FORTY years old. Let's remember it on February 5th. kind word. Thank you.
First email response received. Thank you Victoria for your kind words: "Lesha always lived with an open and sensitive heart to the world, this amazing ability ... Thanks to her, we all felt his care, attention and caring. The brightest and kindest memory of Lesha, and gratitude for everything he did."
Since this is the first interview sent to our site, it will remain on the main page.
Today we share the thoughts of ALEXEY STRELNIKOV Alexey Strelnikov (Alexey Strelnikov) - theater critic, manager, candidate of art criticism, member of the WriteBox jury in the New Play nomination.
“- How to recognize good dramaturgy?
- For me, the criterion for the quality of a play is a performance. If something happens to the audience at the performance, if the actor in the performance is interested, if the director has spent money to organize the theatrical performance, then the playwright has done a good job.
The most interesting plays are born in rehearsals and collaboration with the director, actors, artist, composer, characters (for example, in documentary plays - approx. WriteBox). The more difficult it is to determine who exactly the author is, the more interesting. There may be a difficulty here, that this experience cannot be transferred to other conditions (to another theater, with other actors). But it's a nice challenge.
- Name a play from all the years of WriteBox that you would call the best. Why?
- I will name "Everything is fine" by Vlada Khmel, because so many conflicts and truths of the present day found their exact and exhaustive embodiment there for me. Very simply written, on a simple topic, but the world is reflected in this drop of water. Although I have to make a reservation that the polyphony of the Belarusian dramaturgy is fundamental for me. The fact that for once we do not have the main playwright of the Belarusian land with the only best play, I consider it a perfect happiness.

theater critic, head of the competition-festival

Alexey's opinion about the Performance "Everything is OK" by Vlada Khmel you can see in the section - "Projects" --> "Miscellaneous" - https://free-teatr-aleks-strel.net/index.php/proekty/raznoe

It's been a month now since Alexey hasn't been with us. The pain has not dulled, just a person adapts to everything. We decided to fill this site with materials, and we saw how much Alexei spoke publicly. In the "Publications" section, we started posting HIS video projects. It seems to me that all lovers (and not only) of the theater will be interested in them. Welcome to
THE WORLD OF ALEXEY STRELNIKOV.
DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF ALEXEY.
Quite recently, we saw off ALEXEY on his last journey, and when we said goodbye to him, the idea was born to make a website in tribute to the memory of my son. I was pushed to this decision by a huge number of people who came to say goodbye to him.
The site is still under development, and for starters, I would like to publish a selection of photos provided by Alena Ivanyushenko, who, no doubt, was the closest person to Alexei spiritually.
https://youtu.be/WnzMVLwiw9I
I hope a lot of interesting things will appear on this site in the near future and it will be as accessible and responsive as Alexei Strelnikov was.
Send all materials about Alexey and everything connected with him to the email address of the site administration: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
