摘要：

This study of innovative amateur theaters in cities of the Russian Republic examines their relationships with local sponsors in clubs, the Komsomol, and culture departments. Organizations at the raion, city, or oblast' level had discretion in cultural matters and needed amateurs' services in order to meet annual goals. Amateur theater provided an important component of cultural activities especially in places with few or no professional drama theaters. In this environment, popular amateurs forged symbiotic relationships with these friends in low places. Their mutual support led to innovative productions that enhanced local cultural life but sometimes defied central priorities. Specific examples of these productions include Aleksandr Volodin's play Two Shots at the Maneken Theater in Cheliabinsk, and Evgenii Shvarts's The Dragon in Moscow and Leningrad.
