The Kyiv All-Ukrainian GOSET. Author - Sholem Aleichem. Director - Lev Litvinov. The role of Tevye was skillfully played by actor Lazar Kalmanovich, who at that time was one of the most experienced masters of Jewish theater. He skillfully embodied the image of Sholom Aleichem's Tevye - a tireless worker, a philosopher with warm humor, kind heart and unwavering optimism, who can not endure poverty, expulsion from his hometown and uncertainty about the future.
