Mikhail Ulyanov

Soviet and Russian actor, theatre and film director (1927-2007)

In the history of cinema, Mikhail Ulyanov is one of the names that keeps returning.

The record lists Mikhail Ulyanov as Soviet and Russian actor, theatre and film director (1927-2007).

Mikhail Ulyanov was born at Bergamak in 1927. His recorded nationality is Russia. He trained at Boris Shchukin Theatre Institute.

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

Mikhail Ulyanov is credited as actor, theatre director and film director.

Cinema keeps its people visible long after the industry that produced them has changed shape.

Formal recognition came in the shape of the Order of Lenin (1986) and Order of the October Revolution (1977).

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.

Mikhail Ulyanov died in 2007, aged 80. The films remain, which is the only form in which a screen career survives.
