Review: Beljakovin talvi

BRILLIANT RECENT HISTORY

Chills run down my spine when Antti Litja plays Urho Kekkonen. He is Kekkonen down to his gestures! Ilpo Tuomarila’s play Belyakov’s Winter tells the story of the danger Finland was in in the early 1970s. Ambassador Beljakov, in whose shoes Pekka Laiho empathizes with full force, tried to cause division with the help of the Taisto youth. There will be interesting interpretations of recent history and thought-provoking theatre directed by Milko Lehto .
