The Satyricon Theatre (Russian: Сатирикон), also known as Russian state theater "Satyricon" named after Arkady Raikin (Российский государственный теа́тр «Сатирико́н» и́мени Арка́дия Ра́йкина, Rossiyskiy gosudarstvennyy teatr «Satirikon» imeni Arkadiya Raykina), is a Moscow theatre directed by actor Konstantin Raikin, son of Arkady Isaakovich.^[1]

Satyricon was initially founded as the Leningrad Variety and Miniature Theatre in 1939. In 1982, the theatre moved to Moscow, and from 1987 it was renamed as "Satyricon".^[2] It has a large and small stage.^[3]

In 2013, the Center for Culture, Art and Leisure named after Arkady Raikin opened near the theatre, consisting of Raikin Plaza, a shopping and entertainment complex, and the Higher School of Performing Arts. In August 2015 the theatre building closed for a large-scale reconstruction, with large stage performances continuing in the "Planet of KVN", at 2 Sheremetyevskaya street, and the plays for the small stage in the Training Theatre of the Higher School of Performing Arts at 6/2 Sheremetevskaya Street. The facility was planned to be commissioned in 2019.^[3]
