About the book: 1982 / The plays of the laureate of the State Prize of the Ukrainian SSR named after T. Shevchenko, Honored Artist Nikolai Miroshnichenko are devoted to pressing problems of our time, raising questions of a moral order. Main The hero of the play “Nepoklonov” is passionate about searching for a new gold deposit. The writer puts him in steep, almost insurmountable circumstances - hence the drama of the play, its tension. The image of the Komsomol leader Andrei Kolobov (“Take care of the white bird”) is interesting. In clashes with indifferent people, selfish people, careerists, Kolobov’s character is revealed, his conscientious attitude towards his noble mission - the education of youth. The tragicomedy “Temptation” is original in its themes - it talks about the life of a theological seminary in our days. N. Miroshnichenko also solves serious moral problems here, trying to understand why young, often gifted people become seminarians. In the play “The Third Generation,” the playwright addresses the most pressing problem of our time - the struggle of the planet’s youth to preserve peace. Nikolai Miroshnichenko’s plays are widely performed in theaters in the country and abroad.
