Margarita Alexandrovna Eskina, the leader and soul of the central house of the actor, passed away. Her colleagues recall her
Leah Akhedzhakova: "The maternal instinct was indestructible in it"
I was most amazed at the fact that, despite a serious illness, Margarita Alexandrovna retained cheerfulness to the last sigh. There was no more vital personality in my life - until the last minute a smile did not leave. She spent a lot of time in the oncological center on Kashirka and even there she managed to fall in love with everyone who surrounded her! Thanks to her, we were able to help many good people. She behaved like a common mother. This maternal instinct was in her some kind of indestructible-everyone was hiding to her, everyone fled to her at her first call. There were a lot of good people around her. I am very afraid that with her departure, we will take our actor's house. Because she united all of us. And, preserving our house, she did not turn into a brutal fighter. Her efforts were always bright, cheerful and cheerful. I grieve very much.
Nikolai Tsiskaridze: "There are few to whom the artists treated with such warmth and respect"
I was very young when Margarita Alexandrovna, having allocated me from a huge crowd of ballet artists, organized my creative evening in the house of the actor - the audience. It was in 1997. I can’t imagine that it will become without Margarita Alexandrovna, who was a driving and unifying force for actors. This is a very big loss for theatrical Moscow. Few people treated with such warmth and respect as Margarita Alexandrovna. She was one of the most expensive and beloved people for every artist. All of us, so different in character, tastes, status, age, converged in one thing: in respect for her. Because she loved everyone very much, tried to help many: someone with advice, others-a matter ...
Mark Zakharov: "She cemented our theater life"
At the time of the departure of Margarita Alexandrovna, you understand all its cosmic significance for our theater community. After all, it was she who managed to revive this building that we received with great difficulty - the actor’s house. From the state office institution, where the Ministry of Culture of the USSR was located and where cultural figures were called “for study”, Margarita A Lexandrovna created a warm hearth. She had some surprisingly healing influence: many people went to the events of this house just to see it. She possessed light, she cemented our fairly broken theatrical life and was a very important figure in the theatrical life of Moscow and Russia. She managed to make this house hospitable, relatives. Margarita picked up the baton of her father Alexander Moiseevich Eskin, an amazing person who led the actor’s house on Tverskaya Street, who burned out. Margarita Alexandrovna managed to preserve and develop the best traditions laid down by her father. She attracted the actor and a new generation of theater figures, and just fans, lovers of theater to the new house. I hope that after the departure of Margarita Alexandrovna, the actor’s house will still be able to save, despite the possible raiding. Of course, a lot depends on the person who will become the head of the house and inherit what Margarita Alexandrovna created with her labor and inspiration.
