Exactly in this house the famous actors had been living — Margaryta Krynytsyna from 1970 until her death in 2005, Boryslav Brondukov from 1970 to 1985. The tenants of the house are proud of the history of their place of living and of the famous neighbors and always find an opportunity to share this information with their guests.

The event is occasioned with the International Day of Theater. After all, one of the best theatrical works of Margaryta Vasyliyivna that brought a great success to the actress — role of Aelita in the play "A pleasant woman with a flower and windows to the north" (director E. Radzynsky) in the Theater-studio of a movie actor in Kyiv. And Boryslav Brondukov, being working at "Arsenal" factory, played in a national theater, where he was noticed by Mykola Zadniprovsky, the Head of the Theater Institute named after Karpenko-Kary, who invited Boryslav Mykolayovych to enter the Institute.

The initiative belongs to Andrii Strannikov and Vitalii Roslyakov, the deputies of the residential area Bereznyaky, where, actually, the house is located.

During one of the interviews, in conversation with journalists, daughter of the actressAlla Surina-Krynytsyna, which followed her father's footsteps and became the screenwriter and film director, confessed that she had a dream to place memorial plate in honor of her mother on the façade of the house where she lived, —  admitted Andrii Strannikov, deputy of Kyiv city Council, the author of this initiative. — Besides, the residents of the area referred to us often during the personal meetings, as to the deputies of Kyiv city Council with a question/request to eternalize memory of outstanding residents of Bereznyaky area. So we decided to realize this idea and to make her little dream come true. It is important to preserve history for future generations and memory of the famous people which celebrate not only the residential area but the entire Ukraine.”

The decision regarding the placement of memorial plates for outstanding actors was approved unanimously on September 19, 2016 at the meeting of commission on the issues of the placement of memorial plates.

"It should be noted that the production and placement of memorial plates are made for extrabudgetary resources — says Vitalii Roslyakov, the co-author of the project, deputy of Kyiv city Council. — At this difficult time, when there is armed conflict in the East of our country, it is important not to forget about culture, to pay attention and give credits to the memory, to the outstanding figures of modern era, which have became known far beyond our residential area and country as a whole and of whom we are incredibly proud!".
