In "Shadows" Babochkin played one of his best roles ever - Klaverov, a corrupt career politician, resembling of a typical Soviet bureaucrat. For that work Babochkin was viciously attacked in the main Soviet newspaper "Pravda" by none other than Ekaterina Furtseva, who was then a Mayor of Moscow and later was made Soviet Minister of Culture and eventually committed suicide. Furtseva became enraged with Babochkin's satirical portrayal of a Soviet bureaucrat with allusions to the Soviet leadership. She banned the play, and restricted the world famous actor, Babochkin, from public performances and kept him virtually unemployed for three years until he was finally forced to repent to the Communist Party.
