Known for his inventive approach, he staged over 60 classic and contemporary productions and founded one of Moscow’s best-known theatres.
Fomenko’s death was described in a telegram of condolences sent by President Vladimir Putin as “a huge, irreplaceable loss for Russian culture and for the theatre that he created and devoted his life to serving.”
