The sixties of the 20th century were critical for the theater. Many new plays were not successful, the generation of actors changed.

Kalyagin, E. Evstigneev, T. Doronina, E. Vasilyeva. In the 80s, a disagreement began in the theater, which led to conflict. As a result , the troupe was divided into two groups. One of which remained with O. Efremov at the Moscow Art Theater named after A.P. Chekhov. The other was headed by T. Doronin. It received the name of the Moscow Art Theater named after M. Gorky.
