Fyodor Ivanovich Chaliapin (1873-1938) was a great opera artist and a truly iconic figure for Russia at the beginning of the 20th century. The owner of a magnificent voice and exceptional stage talent, he shone on the capital's stages, toured the world and had a huge impact on the development of opera art. Contemporaries said that Chaliapin did not go on stage to play, but to live the lives of his characters. His Boris Godunov was the epitome of the tragedy of the tsar, torn apart by power and conscience, his Mephistopheles was the embodiment of diabolical temptation, dragging into the abyss. . . Fyodor Ivanovich's lively and mocking mind, charisma and artistry, which contributed to his stage successes, invariably gathered around him the most significant representatives of the cultural firmament of the era. Fyodor Chaliapin described his memories of fateful meetings and his amazing creative rise to the heights of opera fame in two remarkable autobiographical books: Pages from My Life (1916), written with the participation of Maxim Gorky, and Mask and Soul (1932). Both of them are a sincere, heartfelt and humorous story about how the fate of the great master was shaped. This amazing biographical dilogy gives us the opportunity to compare the "two Chaliapins" — a famous Russian artist at the zenith of his fame, whose gaze is full of hope for the future, and a world celebrity, a Parisian emigrant, mentally reviewing the past. The application publishes memories of Chaliapin, left by his friends: the book "Chaliapin. Meetings and life together" by Konstantin Korovin and the biographical sketch "Chaliapin" by Ivan Bunin.
