Vyatka Art Museum has opened an exhibition "Saltykiada. One Book History" dedicated to the 220th anniversary of Kirov regional printing house. A book "How Saltykov met Shchedrin in Vyatka" by Maxim Naumov was presented there.
It is a play, a staging for a theater, and a "phantasmagoric comedy based on biography and books of Saltykov-Shchedrin".
A play is planned to be staged at one Kirov’s theater in the nearest future. Meanwhile at the exhibition "Saltykiada.
