On the drama stage, Monakhov demonstrated his musical talent and virtuoso synthesising technique. Monakhov's best-performed dramatic roles at the BDT included Iago in Othello and Shylock in The Merchant of Venice by W. Shakespeare (1920); Franz Moors in F.

Monakhov's talent was also exhibited in the comic characters of Mascarille in The Pretentious Young Ladies and Sganarelle in The Doctor in Spite of Himself by J.-B. Moliere, Truffaldino in The Servant of Two Masters by C. Goldoni (1921). His most recognized achievements are considered the creation of characters from modern plays: Rasputin in The Plot of the Empress by A.N. Tolstoy and P.E. Shchegolev and Ruzaev in The Rebellion by B. A. Lavreneva (1925), Granatov in A Man with a Brief Case by A.M. Faiko (1928), Egor Bulychov in Egor Bulychov and others by M. Gorky (1932). In 1928 he began acting in films.
