Director German called artistic director Yukhananov a beacon for Russian art.

Boris Yukhananov, the artistic director of the Stanislavsky Electrotheatre, actor, director and screenwriter, was a focus and a beacon for Russian art. This was announced to Izvestia on August 5 by film director Alexei German.

"Boris Yukhananov was an incredible experimenter in the good sense of the word, an art researcher, educator, teacher. <...> He was a brilliant, magnetic man. Unfortunately, we have almost no such people left," the director said.

Herman noted that he has known Yukhananov since 1997. According to him, he was a phenomenon and a focus around which talented people always gathered and "art was brewed."

"He was a beacon, I was always glad to see him, I always smiled when I saw him. I was always glad that he was in business, continuing to do what he loved. His very presence in the profession, in the theater, somehow calmed me down and inspired faith in the future," concluded Herman.

Earlier that day, Boris Yukhananov, the artistic director of the Stanislavsky Electrotheatre, died at the age of 68. At the moment, the causes of the director's death are not specified.
