The author of these lines - Vladimir Semenovich Vysotsky would have turned 80 years old on January 25, 2018. By this date, numerous events, television broadcasts, interviews with relatives and friends, Internet controversy were timed ... as strings strung, riddled with everyday verses and lyrics, rhyming our emotions...

Vysotsky is remembered and loved, he is admired both in Russia and abroad. We were convinced in this, after visiting the play "Hello, Vladimir Vysotsky!", directed by the son of Vladimir Semenovich - Nikita Vladimirovich Vysotsky. The young actors of “Nikolay Skorik's Workshop” on the stage of Turkmen Drama Theater named after Alp Arslan, were given the opportunity to look at the image of the artist and poet through the prism of audience adoration.

Nikita Vladimirovich also came to Ashgabat to give us a piece of "his Vysotsky."

- Thanks to the support of the Ministry of Culture of Turkmenistan and the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Ashgabat were possible the organization of the performance in Ashgabat. I am glad to get acquainted with your country, and I am sure our cultural ties will develop successfully, "said Nikita Vysotsky.

Yesterday I was at a reception in honor of the Day of Russia at the Russian Embassy and I was convinced of the mutual desire for further rapprochement of our countries, our cultures, our peoples. This is right. I am attracted by the mental originality of the Turkmen people. I am pleasantly surprised that Turkmen people know Russian well and are involved in the culture of other nations. Your country is developing in accordance with the priorities of national development ... At the same time, which is very valuable, it is respected our common history here.

We've been here three days. The city is impressive - beautiful, white, well groomed. In Ashgabat, everything is fine: roads, sights, theaters, museums. The international airport admires the original architecture and functional merits.

We tasted the dishes of national cuisine with great pleasure. Everything is very delicious said so similar to Vladimir Vysotsky, with a soft smile on his face says.

You know, I'm a bad tourist. Quite a lot I go, with movies, with theater, with tours, performances, or as it is now customary to say projects. I travel a lot, but I see a little: the airport, the hotel, the hall where we perform, or the set. And sometimes it would be desirable to consider something more attentively, to understand. I often visited Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan. And in Turkmenistan for the first time! And I had a desire to learn more about the Turkmen people. It is important to see sights. But communication with people is much more valuable.

More recently - in the spring of this year in Western Europe, among friends I talked with the people of Turkmenistan, who talked a lot about Ashgabat. But what I saw - surpassed all my expectations. For young artists, engaged in the play, this is the first foreign tour. They are surprised and delighted at the same time. In Ashgabat, they are pleased with literally everything: people, architecture, open emotions. They do not sleep, walk at night, trying to see as much as possible, they all take pictures.

- And how did you came to the idea to create a performance-initiation with beginning actors?

- The theater is young, it exists just over two years. In his troupe are the students of Nikolai Lavrentyevich Skorik - director of the Moscow Art Theater, professor, head of the department of skill actor in the Institute of Culture. Once I was his student. The staff is very talented and in demand.

The performance is based on letters that were sent to my father during his lifetime. He did not read everything, there was not enough time. This is nowdays we are writing to each other sms, we connect via the Internet. And before they wrote letters, congratulated on holidays, shared something ... They were kept by my father’s mother - my grandmother Nina Maksimovna Vysotskaya. And when the guys came to the Vysotsky Museum on Taganka, they became interested, asked to give them these letters. People who once wrote to Vysotsky needed his advice or words of support, were of the same age as the actors on the stage.

The phenomenon of Vladimir Vysotsky can not be considered in isolation from the era, and at the same time he is timeless as a real art and always relevant. The title of the play "Hello, Vladimir Vysotsky!" is an appeal of those guys who wrote to him, and the guys who reproduce the dialogue of memories. Young artists were very sensitive to the material. I think that this work is not over yet, something will change ... Russian President Vladimir Putin came to the rehearsal for the performance. He was impressed by the penetration with which young actors broadcast love for the person and the creative heritage of Vladimir Vysotsky.

The light goes out. A deafening, inexplicably solemn silence in which everyone froze in anticipation of "his Vysotsky." Nikita Vladimirovich Vysotsky is on the stage. That loudly, with a "firm hoarse," then almost whisper, he reads his father's poems, collecting from our associations and mosaic memories the image of the poet-bard and actor, sincerely shares with the public with his own understanding of the work of Vladimir Vysotsky ...

Grateful audience with a storm of applause for a long time did not let the artists off stage. The most active of them literally "attacked" guests from Russia behind the scenes, in the dressing rooms, in the lobby ... everyone wanted to take an autograph, take a picture for memory. The theater was filled with an atmosphere of emotional uplift. Gifts, flowers, smiles, flashbulbs. From everywhere the words "Thank you, guys!", "You are good fellows!", "Bravo!", "Thank you, Nikita Vladimirovich!", "Come to us again!". I managed to talk with some of them.

- Everything turned out by itself, - Arthur Marchenko shares his impressions. - We sometimes play in "Vysotsky's House on Taganka" and thought: why do not we put a performance dedicated to Vysotsky ?! We are infected with this idea, and we hope that the creativity of the outstanding artist and poet in our interpretation will awaken in the viewer a belief in the best that exists in man...

I want to share my impressions about Ashgabat. It's a very interesting trip for me. Fantastic city! The audience is amazing - they accepted us admirably. People are very interesting, we want to talk more and more, especially with young people. We do hope to return here again.

Vysotsky is close and understandable to representatives of different generations: the debate about his work does not cease until now, and the memory lives in rhymed by him once the lines in which everyone reads something about himself...

... I want to finish "my letter to Vladimir Vysotsky" fragment from an interview with Nikita Vladimirovich, in whose eyes there lives a bright sadness:

- Nikita Vladimirovich, if you had the opportunity to give Vladimir Vysotsky advice during his life, what would you advise him?

"As a son, I would listen to his advice and ask him to take care of his life and health carefully ...

He was a man who was difficult to advise, even in some everyday situations. But this does not mean that he was stubborn and did everything in defiance. No. He was simply guided in life by clearly defined goals. At the same time he was able to listen, and he listened to the opinion of friends and relatives.

Vladimir Vysotsky died early, on take-off! Much is not written by him, not sung, not played, not experienced ... But his poetry lives in our hearts, his songs sound in our voices, his thoughts are consonant with our experiences, and the memory of him with a high note breaks everyday life, inviting to co-creation ...
