According to her, the director is again accused of disobeying a police officer. “By lunchtime tomorrow, it will become clearer what is happening,” Lysovskaya wrote.
The director was detained for the first time on February 10. According to Eva Lysovskaya, he was taken from the street without explanation and taken to the police station. On his Facebook page, the director wrote that the police “lied a lot” at the court, and called the accusations against him “sucked out of the finger.”

The theme of Brecht’s play is the establishment of fascism in Germany.
- Also last year, Lysovsky was fined 50,000 rubles for an article about the discrediting of the Russian army for an anti-war post on Facebook.
