The Last Ones (Russian: Последние, romanized: Posledniye) is a 1908 four-act drama by Maxim Gorky.
[1] In a September 1907 letter to Ladyzhnikov Gorky enquired whether in the latter's opinion the play could be staged in Berlin, for in Russia it had no chance of passing the test of censorship.
[2] Still, Gorky resumed working upon the play in November and completed it in spring 1908, giving it the new title.
[1] In 1923 it was included into the Complete Works by Maxim Gorky for the first time and since then started to be produced by the Soviet theatres.
In 1972 the Moscow Art Theatre production of the play was adapted for television by Oleg Efremov, Leonid Pchyolkin and Vladimir Salyuk.
