Meeting of Kh.-B.B. Daaev, Minister of Culture of the Chechen Republic (2013–2021), and Kh.L. Akhmadova, Director of the Chechen State National Theatre named after Kh. Nuradilov, with A.G. Kolesnikova to discuss the project, Grozny, Chechen Republic, 2017.

Director of the Chechen State National Theatre named after Kh. Nuradilov

However, over the years, national theatrical art has been subjected to severe trials. During the military operations in the Caucasus from 1999 to 2009, all theaters were forced to suspend their activities; some were destroyed, and prominent theater figures left the Republic. The entire material and technical infrastructure was obliterated, including sets, workshops, studios, costumes, and props. The theaters practically ceased to exist.
Yet, through the incredible efforts of the Chechen Republic's leadership, its Ministry of Culture, cultural figures, and ordinary people who love their homeland, it became possible to revive theatrical art in Chechnya: new theater buildings were constructed, new creative ensembles were formed, and talented directors, playwrights, and scenographers were invited to work. Most importantly, it succeeded in restoring the people's faith.
The history of the emergence of theatrical art in Chechnya is inextricably linked not only to the life of the Republic and the flourishing of its culture, art, and literature, but also to the development of the broader multi-ethnic theatrical culture of the peoples of the Caucasus. Throughout their long history, theaters in the Chechen Republic have served as conduits of the people's spiritual values, identifying themselves as guardians of cultural heritage.
A distinctive feature of modern productions at the Chechen theater is its profound sense of identity and steadfast commitment to national ethical and aesthetic values. Thanks to the theater's strengthened position, dramaturgy exerts a powerful influence on the spiritual development of the Chechen people, taking the lead in posing questions and awaiting answers from the directors. Today, amid the ongoing development of theatrical art, the successes of Chechen theaters provide a powerful impetus for the growth of culture as a whole, and their role in the life of the Republic is truly invaluable.

Fragments of the Exhibition
A commemorative gift from the Minister of Culture of the Chechen Republic, Khozh-Baudi Daaev – souvenir wooden models of the republic's main mosque, "The Heart of Chechnya," and the Grozny Cathedral of the Archangel Michael.
As a result, visitors were able to explore materials from the collection of the Bakhrushin Theatre Museum related to the history of Chechen theater, as well as documents and items of scenic and visual art, costumes, puppets, and props, meticulously gathered from the theaters of the Chechen Republic and the private collections of Chechen cultural figures who are infinitely devoted to the theatrical art of their Republic.
This project has become a veritable chronicle of Chechen theatrical art! Everyone who viewed it discovered an unknown yet incredibly vibrant layer of Chechen culture, sought to grasp the polyphony of national sentiments, and heard the musicality of the language.»
Anna Kolesnikova:
«Work on this exhibition project began with my official visit to Grozny in March 2017 in my capacity as Deputy General Director of the Museum for Research, and a Round Table held at the premises of the Union of Theatre Workers of the Russian Federation in the Chechen Republic. The session was attended by Khava Akhmadova, Artistic Director and Head of the Kh. Nuradilov Chechen State Drama Theatre and Chairman of the Regional Branch of the Union of Theatre Workers of the Russian Federation in the Chechen Republic; Vakha-Khazhi Daaev, Director of the M. Lermontov Russian State Drama Theatre; and Musa Sagaev, Director of the Theatre for Young Spectators, along with chief directors and heads of literary departments of theaters in the Chechen Republic. In addition, the meeting was attended by Satita Israilova, Director of the Abuzar Aidamirov National Library of the Chechen Republic, and Elisa Gelagaeva, Deputy General Director of the National Museum of the Chechen Republic.
During the meeting, we successfully addressed issues related to the search, selection, and attribution of items, as well as their transportation and display. This was followed by a meeting at the Ministry of Culture of the Chechen Republic with the Minister of Culture, Khozh-Baudi Daaev.
There had never been any analogue to the upcoming exposition.
