Yury Lyubimov was born at Yaroslavl in 1917. His recorded nationality is Russia. He trained at Boris Shchukin Theatre Institute.
The studio system was at its height in this period: contracts were long, the output was industrial, and a handful of studios decided who worked.
The record gives his roles in the industry as stage actor, film actor and theatre director.
Film is a collaborative art in which individual credit is always contested and occasionally deserved.
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.
Yury Lyubimov died in 2014, aged 97. The films remain, which is the only form in which a screen career survives.
