Max Tereshkovich was an outstanding Russian stage actor and theatre director, and the first artistic director of the Yermolova Theatre. Born in 1897, he honed his professional skills under the guidance of Fyodor Komissarzhevsky and Vsevolod Meyerhold. In the 1920s, he performed as an actor at the Komissarzhevsky Theatre and the Revolution Theatre, where he manifested himself in roles such as the Intelligentsia in "Mystery-Bouffe" by Vladimir Mayakovsky and Tarelkin in "The Death of Tarelkin" by Alexander Sukhovo-Kobylin. In the late 1920s, Max Tereshkovich transitioned to directing. He organized and headed the Lunacharsky Studio, and also directed productions at the Revolution Theatre and the Satire Theatre. Among his directorial works of that period were "Tie" and "Glafira" by Alexander Glebov, "Rabourdin's Legacy" by Émile Zola, and "Glupov Town" based on the novel "The History of a Town" by Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin. In 1933, Max Tereshkovich became the first artistic director of the Yermolova Theatre, created as a result of the merger of the Traveling Yermolova Theatre and the Lunacharsky Theatre Studio. In this position, he worked in a creative tandem with Maria Knebel, producing such plays "The Art of Intrigue" by Eugène Scribe and "The Stepmother" by Honoré de Balzac. The Bakhrushin Theatre's online collection features Kukryniksy's sketches for the Moscow Satire Theatre's performance "Glupov Town," photographs of actors in the Revolution Theatre's performance "Inga", and other materials.
