DESCRIPTION:In 1960 the Sovremennik theatre staged Evgenii Shvarts’ prev
 iously banned play 'Golyi korol’' (The Naked King). The production creat
 ed enormous controversy and nearly led to the theatre being shut down due 
 to the play’s satirical take on Stalinism and Soviet power. This paper w
 ill explore the way the production re-interpreted official memories of Sta
 linism with a new narrative that implicitly critiqued the current Soviet h
 ierarchy.
