Kirill Lavrov

Soviet and Russian actor (1925-2007)

Kirill Lavrov is remembered on screen for work that changed what came after it.

The record lists Kirill Lavrov as Soviet and Russian actor (1925-2007).

Kirill Lavrov was born at Saint Petersburg in 1925. His recorded nationality is Russia.

This generation broke the studio mould - lighter cameras, location shooting, and directors who claimed authorship of the finished film.

He worked as actor, stage actor and film actor.

A film outlives its reviews, its budget and usually its studio; what remains is whether anyone still watches it.

Recognition followed: Order of Lenin, Order of the October Revolution and Order of the Badge of Honour.

That the work was made from Russia shaped it: national industries differ in what they finance, who they cast and which audiences they can reach.

Kirill Lavrov died in 2007, aged 82. The films remain, which is the only form in which a screen career survives.
