The playwright's works carried an instructive grain, which distinguished the literature of that period, but also had individual authorial features. A real success was the appearance of the comedy "Good Hour!", Which in 1954 was staged by Anatoly Efros at the Central House of Theaters.

The story of yesterday's schoolchildren preparing to become students demonstrated the moral tests that young people faced. The author raised the issue of personality formation. Revelation and confidential manner of narration were not characteristic of the drama of the 1950s-1960s, and Rozov opened up to the public from a new perspective.

The plays of Viktor Sergeevich were analyzed, theater experts, playwrights, directors and critics were interested in them. The morality inherent in his early works was also seen in later works - "Zateynik" and "Traditional collection", published in the mid-1960s. In them, the author described a dramatic discrepancy between a person and his actions, caused by the hero's intrapersonal conflict.

In 1956, the premiere of the play "In Search of Joy", staged by Efros based on the play by Rozov, took place on the stage of the Central House of Theaters. It became the first work in which the author spoke openly about philistinism and greed that devastate the human soul.

The author added the satire and humor present in his work in principle, creating the images of “Rozov's boys” rushing out of the care of their parents. On the stage, the heroes were embodied by Oleg Tabakov, Oleg Efremov and Gennady Bortnikov, for whom Rozov's drama became a tool for educating an actor's being. The works "Unequal Battle", "On the Road", "Before Dinner", "Capercaillie's Nest" had a similar theme.

The play by Viktor Rozov "Forever Alive" provoked the second wave of the author's popularity. It became a program for the Sovremennik Theater, headed by Oleg Efremov. The playwright's thoughts turned out to be close to the barely formed theater, and the ethical background of his works, the concept of duty and honor became those important milestones that young people were guided by.

Tatiana received an acting education and became an actress of the Moscow Art Theater. A. Chekhov.

Rozov was an adherent of quiet hobbies. He liked collecting stamps. This hobby appeared in childhood. At his summer cottage, Viktor Sergeevich grew flowers.

Favorite performers of the author were Sergei Lemeshev, Ivan Kozlovsky and Ivan Petrov. The writer also liked ballet.
