Built 1960-1974 by V. S. Kubassov and V. S. Ulyashov as a second home to the MKhAT Moskovitsky Khudozhestvenny teatr [Moscow Art Theatre] company, also known as Dramaticheksy teatr imeni Stanislavskovo i Nemirovich-Danchenko after Konstantin Sergeyevich Stanislavski (1863-1938) and Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko (1858-1943) who had founded the company in 1898. - When the MKhAT company split in two companies in the 1990s, the building on Tverskoy Bulvar became home to the MKhat im. Maxima Gorkovo, named in honour of the Russian writer, Maxim Gorky (1868-1936). [The other company that resulted from the splitting is still operating in the original MKhaT theatre and is now known as MKhat im. Antonina Chekhova.
