We present an analysis of the basic aesthetic principles of Mark Zakharov’s directing. We consider the creative path of the director, factors influencing the development of his directorial views and worldview. Throughout his career, Zakharov improved and was constantly on the loo-kout. The director formulated some principles of working with actors. Among them is the need to help an actor, directing him in the right direction of his plan, without turning him into a pawn for directorial experiments. A modern actor must constantly take into account three important theatrical elements: the material environment, partners and spectators. Mark Zakharov’s performances did not put the actor in a certain framework, but on the contrary, gave an opportunity for improvisation, active life, constant creative search. We also focus on the director's ability to influence the viewer. He was able to unobtrusively, in a comedy-musical form, convey to the viewer the most terrible events, the wisest thoughts, and this form is always perceived better, the viewer is more willing to let himself be taught. We conclude that Zakharov built his own special directing system based on his worldview.
