Figure 1.--Here we see Russian children in 2005 preparing tob vuiew a play at their school. Notice how the children have dressed up for the event. The boys are mostly wearing suits. Boys in the United States would have dressed more informally. In fact, we think many American boys do not even have dark suits like the Russian children here.

We do not have a great deal of information about theatricals in Russian scgools. We know nothing about the Tsarist era. We note theatricals in Soviet-era schools, but mostly at the pre-school and very early-primary school years. We see seasonal and othercevents with the children dressed up in cute costumes. We think the parents were often invited to attend. We do not know if they have theatricals such as school plays like American schools have. This is a major tradition in American and English schools, but less so in Europe. Russian schools are more like European schools with a strong academic focus and less attention to activities. We do not have much information on modern Russian schools. Larger schools do have auditoriums and plays are appasrently presented.

Tsarist Era

We know nothing about the Tsarist era.

Soviet Era

We note theatricals in Soviet-era schools, but mostly at the pre-school and very early-primary school years. We see seasonal and othercevents with the children dressed up in cute costumes. These seem to be class room activities presented to small groups. We think the parents were often invited to attend. We do not know if they have theatricals such as school plays like American schools have. This is a major tradition in American and English schools, but less so in Europe. Russian schools are more like European schools with a strong academic focus and less attention to activities. Of course, Soviet children studied literature on school. We do not know to what extent theu staged plays in schools.

Modern Era

We do not have much information on modern Russian schools. Larger schools do have auditoriums. We are not sure just how common this was. I'm not sure just how common this was or the size iof the aufitorium. The one here looksc rather small, but it masy have been a small school. Plays are appasrently presented.
