Tricolor has published the book "The Nutcracker" by Hoffman with illustrations by the artist Shemyakin

In the year of its 20th anniversary, Tricolor prepared a unique New Year's gift for its clients: a collection of fairy tales by Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann, decorated with vivid illustrations by the outstanding contemporary artist Mikhail Shemyakin.

Hoffmann's collection of fairy tales with illustrations by Mikhail Shemyakin has been released in a limited series. For the first time, drawings by a world-famous artist for the works of a German writer appeared on the pages of a single publication. A special series of characters, imbued with the spirit of phantasmagoria, fills every page of the book with extraordinary discoveries and gives unforgettable emotions.

The book is a tribute to the writer's work. 2026 will mark the 250th anniversary of the birth of Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann, who lived for a long time in the territory of the modern Kaliningrad region. It is here that the production lines of GS Group, the strategic partner of Tricolor operator, are located. The company plans to present the entire print run to its customers.

The publication will appeal not only to connoisseurs of Hoffmann's work, but also to everyone who believes in miracles. The collection includes 71 illustrations by Mikhail Shemyakin to four of the author's most famous works: "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King", "Baby Tsakhes, nicknamed Zinnober", "The Golden Pot: a Tale from Modern Times" and "The Sandman".

Tricolor, which has been bringing tens of millions of people together in front of TV screens every day for two decades to watch vivid and diverse content, has prepared a collection of fairy tales in a limited edition.

"For each of us, the New Year is a special holiday: a time of miracles, gifts and kindness. One of the essential attributes of New Year's holidays in recent years is the great interest in the ballet "The Nutcracker". The collection of fairy tales that we have prepared includes dozens of works by Mikhail Shemyakin, including the famous images of the Nutcracker. We want our clients, regardless of where they live, to have the opportunity to touch this magical story. We're not just giving you a book, we're giving you a piece of a New Year's miracle," says Tricolor Marketing Director Alexander Volodin.

The operator plans to give almost the entire print run of the unique publication to customers as a New Year's gift. A limited batch of books will also be available for purchase in the Tricolor online store and on popular marketplaces from the end of December.
