Résumé
Thdirector in the Soviet theatre is a person entrusted by the authorities with the mission to implement the party's ideology. Once at the head of an institution, many talented artists found themselves in a situation where they had to choose between dogma and freedom, but most often sought a compromise. A form of compromise in which N. Akimov, director of the Leningrad Theatre of Comedy, excelled, was to present an unclassifiable work as a work of socialist realism, spreading in the press and specialized literature prolix arguments in a Soviet style whose purpose was to defend his work, and the work of his employees, against the inevitable ideological criticism. The text of Akimov from 1940 justifying the staging of «The Shadow» by Shwartz giving it the status of a «Soviet fairy story» is an excellent example of this art of disguise.
