Historical and ethnographic theater is a very bright and unusual metropolitan stage venue in Moscow, which attracts the attention of both connoisseurs of theatrical art and lovers of national history. The historical and ethnographic theater was created in the Russian capital in 1988 by former students of the Shchepkin Theater School, headed by Mikhail Mizyukov, who became the permanent artistic director of this troupe. All the creators of the new theater venue were seriously interested in Russian ancient history and Russian folklore, which predetermined the specifics of the new theater.

Soon a theater troupe was formed and long and painstaking work on the repertoire began. The basis of the repertoire consists of productions based on the works of Russian authors, in which the folklore element is strongly felt. And for children, it was decided to make performances based on famous and little-known Russian folk tales. Soon such productions, beloved by the audience, appeared, such as “The Hour of God’s Will” based on the work of N.S. Leskova, “Song of Fate” after A.A. Blok and many others. And for children, fairy-tale performances “The Sea King and Vasilisa the Wise”, “The Tale of Ivan the Tsarevich, the Firebird and the Gray Wolf” and others were staged. In 1997, based on a government decree, the theater received a new name. Now it began to be called the Moscow State Historical and Ethnographic Theater.
