Abstract:
This article attempts, on the basis of Iranian historiography, to study the influence of Russian theatrical art and the contribution of Russian citizens as intermediaries to the development of this art in Iran and, in particular, in its northern province of Gilan. The issues of the influence of Russian dramaturgy on the formation and development of theater in Iran and the importance of Gilan as an intermediary in the transfer of these cultural values are practically not studied in domestic Iranian studies. Meanwhile, from the second half of the XIX century Russians played a significant role in the transfer of cultural values and the foundations of Western modernization to Iran, especially Gilan. The cultural influence due to the presence of Russians in Gilan caused changes in such areas as education, fashion and even in the spoken dialect. It can be said that Guilan in the Qajar period, much faster than other parts of Iran, turned to European culture and as a gateway to Europe, were influenced by the Qajar period, Russia and its European culture. Although the Russians have influenced the Guilanis in various cultural and artistic fields, their influence on the art of Guilani theater has been much greater than other branches of thought and art. The Russians were influential in the formation as well as the content of the plays that were performed in the theaters of Guilan. Most of the early plays performed in Guilan were influenced by Russian theatrical literature, and later, although Guilani artists created works of art, they were still influenced by Russian theatrical literature. In the present article, an attempt is made to explain the role of the Russians in the formation and growth of theater in Guilan by means of a descriptive and analytical method. In the course of the present study, the processes of translation of European cultural values into the socio-cultural environment of Qajar Iran through the theatrical art of Russia were analyzed.
