In St. Petersburg, Yelena Efros and Nina Katerly, the mother and grandmother of the theater director and member of the Seventh Studio, Yevgenia Berkovich, were searched. Efros told about this on her Facebook page, she also noted that her daughter does not get in touch. Deputy of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg Boris Vishnevsky wrote about the search at the grandmother's.
“They came to our house with a search. A criminal case has been opened against Zhenya because of Finist. "Justifying terrorism",» the director's mother wrote.
Probably, the play Finist the Clear Falcon based on the play by Svetlana Petriychuk became the reason for the case. In the story, the women decide to virtually marry «representatives of radical Islam» and go to live in Syria, the synopsis says. Last year, this performance won two nominations for the Golden Mask award.
At the same time, according to Vishnevsky, the search at Nina Caterly's house was carried out because of «her granddaughter's poem.» The politician did not specify what exactly he was talking about.
As the Rotunda writes with reference to Caterli, Berkovich herself was detained in Moscow. “Someone contact Zhenya, she doesn’t pick up the phone,” Efros asked on Facebook.
