In the history of cinema, Oleg Menshikov is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Oleg Menshikov as Soviet and Russian actor, theatre director.
Oleg Menshikov was born at Serpukhov in 1960. His recorded nationality is Russia. He trained at M.S. Schepkin Higher Theatre School.
By this period cinema was global and fragmented: independent finance, festival circuits and television drama competing for the same talent.
Oleg Menshikov is credited as stage actor, film actor and theatre director.
His name is attached above all to the films by Nikita Mikhalkov Burnt by the Sun, The Barber of Siberia, Burnt by the Sun 2. 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 Honour (2010) and Knight of the French Order of Academic Palms (2003).
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.
Oleg Menshikov is still working, and the shape of the career is not yet settled.
