The publication, illustrated with rare photographs from the archives of the Museum of the Moscow Art Theater, is an artistic biography of two actresses - Olga Leonardovna and Olga Konstantinovna Knipper-Chekhov. The first book of the novel "Two Olga Chekhovs. Two Fates" is dedicated to the actress Olga Leonardovna Knipper and her difficult relationship with the writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, with whom, despite the fact that he was an inveterate bachelor, she still goes to the altar. How did she achieve this? Were they happy? The whole story of their relationship unfolds against the background of the formation of the Art Theater. Together with the characters of the novel, the reader will experience all the difficulties of organizing this new temple of art, where, as it turns out, will be dominated not only by the search for new systems of existence of the actor on stage, but also subtle backstage intrigues, without which no theater in the world, no matter how pure and high tasks in it were not set. The book contains rare photographs of O.L. Knipper-Chekhova, A.P. Chekhov and many others, provided by the Museum of the Moscow Art Theater. The second book of the novel "Two Olga Chekhovs. Two Fates" is dedicated to the niece of Olga Leonardovna Knipper-Chekhova, the daughter of her older brother Konstantin. The life story of the beautiful Olga Knipper, who by fate also became Chekhova after her marriage to Anton Pavlovich's nephew, actor Mikhail Chekhov, is rich in events. The birth of a daughter, cheating husband, divorce and difficult years of revolutions, escape to Germany, where she begins to successfully act in films, and with the advent of Hitler in power becomes his favorite actress. But does she unconditionally accept what is going on in Germany at this time? Does it help Soviet intelligence in the fight against the advancing Nazi ideology?
