Magazine CHTIVO №1 2024

"The Show Must Go On": The First Print Issue of CHTIVO Magazine Who produced the gladiatorial fights? How did the superstars of the ancient Greek theater live? How did the Woodstock festival become possible? How do Taylor Swift concerts change the economy of cities? "The Show Must Go On" is the central theme of the first issue of CHTIVO magazine. The editors ask uncomfortable questions to historians, columnists, and those who have made and continue to make the main shows in the history of the country. This issue also features several long interviews: with Yevgeny Tsyganov, who played the lead role in the TV series "The First Number"; with Sergey Zhukov, a star of the 90s who still gathers crowds at Luzhniki; with producers Eduard Ratnikov and Ilya Bachurin, about how to hold an international rock festival in the Soviet Union and be the first to bring Michael Jackson to the country, respectively. And also: a rating of the best gladiators of Rome in cards; sumo wrestlers' diet; a column on show politics and, finally, a diagram of pricing in Russian show business.
