Александр Миминошвили

"War and Peace" is an epic novel with a huge patriotic charge (not for nothing in 1941 its fragments were published millions as separate pocket books to fit into the pocket of a soldier's uniform). The novel descripts the life of the whole nation, of all social groups of the Russian Empire at a turning historical point. Therefore, it is a real challenge to attract to reading both professional actors, stage directors, TV and radio presentersandalso non-professional readers: politicians, athletes, scientists, public figures, people of different occupations, ages, from different parts of our country and abroad. Thus, the authors of the project demonstrate that great literature can unite all of us, and both the President and the student are equal facing it.

Each reader receives approximately one page of text, which means 2-3 minutes of broadcasting. In total, more than 1,300 readers are involved.
