The Russian Academy of Theater Arts ( Russian Российская академия театрального искусства ) is one of the oldest and most traditional drama schools in Russia. It was founded on October 22, 1878. Until 1991 it was under the name State Institute of Theater Arts ( Russian Государственный институт театрального искусства ) in Cyrillic letters short ГИТИС (ie GITIS known). This abbreviation is still in use today. From 1934 to 1991 the addition имени А.В.Луначарского was used in honor of Anatoly Lunacharsky , who died in 1933 .
