Chekhov” in Kishinyov.[17][18] From 1969, he director at various theatres, including the in the Republican Theater Luceafărul, in the Moldovan State Philharmonic, on National TV, in the theater "Actors House", in the Organ Hall, in the theater of the State University of Chisinau, in the People's Theater, in a tiny Theater near Deribasovskaya (Odessa). Many of his productions were the firs in Moldova. From 1969 to 2006 simultaneously with working in the theater Axionov appeared regularly on nationally broadcast television in Moldova and was involved in several TV projects about culture, theater, and literature as an actor, and interviewer. He had great success with his show where he was the presenter of the children's TV program "Ugodayka" (Guessing game), in the role of a cheerful, cunning, funny and all-knowing clown "Ugodayka".

His works gained critical and viewers acclaim, however since 1992 Axionov became increasingly uncomfortable with the adoption and adaptation of his ideas and practices, from the Ministry of Culture of the Republic. One after another, unprofessional managers began to be appointed to the Russian State Drama Theater "A.P. Chekhov”, who tried to privatize the theatre building, which Axionov was against. They began to forbid him to stage performances, threaten, and as a result, “unknown people” severely beat him. So, at what seemed to be the height of his public profile, he left Moldova and since 2007 he lives in Karlsruhe, Germany.[20]
He has been working as an independent director and theater teacher, he has taught and conducted master classes, and given lectures on the history and culture of Moldova, Romania, Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus.

«...As far as I can remember, Băno Axionov has always been ‘‘uncomfortable’’... At the same time, in some inscrutable way, he manages to charm: with his performing color, openness, attractiveness, his human and bright creative individuality. Eternal rebel leader. The performances staged by him captivate with temperamental acting, the richness of the director's imagination and the unexpectedness of the techniques...»
