Anatoli Wassiljewitsch Abramow ( Russian Анатолий Васильевич Абрамов ; born December 4, 1915 in Nisewoje, Slobodskoi , Vyatka Governorate , Russian Empire ; † July 10, 1983 in Leningrad , Soviet Union ) was a Soviet theater and film actor.

Life and accomplishments

Abramov came from the village of Nisewoe. His mother Anna Alexandrovna, b. Vyatkina († 1952) worked as a saleswoman before the revolution, while her father Vasily Jakowljewitsch († 1937) was a plumber in a factory.

In 1927 Abramov graduated from elementary school and wanted to attend an agricultural school. Due to the separation of his parents, however, he moved with his mother to the regional capital Vyatka , worked in a mechanical engineering company from 1930 and graduated as a specialist blacksmith in 1933. However, he decided on an artistic career and then attended the drama school of the Leningrad Central Theater . From 1937 Abramov appeared at the New Leningrad Theater , including in well-known works such as Shakespeare's Measure for Measure and Molière's The Miser .

With the outbreak of World War II, Abramov was recruited to serve in the Red Army and transferred to the Finnish front. While stationed in Vyborg , he was demobilized on June 20, 1940 and then began to play at the Russian theater there. In August 1941 Abramov moved to the city theater of Belorezk , where he was active as an actor and director. On April 6, 1942, he returned to the military, attended an army school until April 1942 and then served on the Southwest Front . On October 30, 1945, he was demobilized and returned to his former place of work in Leningrad. Here he was again involved in the performances of well-known pieces such as The Stone Guest after Alexander Pushkin , Alexander Ostrowski's A Lucrative Post and an adaptation of Alexei Tolstoy's The Path of Sorrows . In addition to his acting activities, Abramov was twice elected secretary of the Lensoviet- based party office and another five times as a simple member. In 1952 he was also a member of the representation of the Kuibyshevsk Rayon.

In 1960, the dark-haired mime moved to the Leningrad State Theater of the Lenin Komsomol , but received an engagement at the Towstongov Bolshoi Drama Theater the following year , where he appeared until he retired in 1975. Here Abramow embodied roles in other noteworthy pieces such as Gogol's Der Revisor , Brecht's The Unstoppable Rise of Arturo Ui or in a stage adaptation of Charles Dickens ' Die Pickwickier .

He made his film debut in 1948 in the social drama Драгоценные зёрна ( Dragozennye sjorna ), but was not seen regularly in television and cinema productions until 1953. His cinematic work was limited to supporting characters and only a few of his works were shown outside of the Soviet Union. Abramov was often seen in adaptations of literary models, e.g. B. Тени ( Teni , 1953) according to Mikhail Saltykov-Schtschedrin , 12 стульев ( 12 stuljew , 1966) on the basis of the novel Twelve chairs or Тим Талер, или Проданный смех ( Tim Thaler, ili Prodanny smech , 1970) by James Krüss ' Timm Thaler or The Laughing Soldier . His filmography includes 61 projects, most recently two years before his death in the detective film Самоубийство ( Samoubiistwo ).

Abramov was married to Ekaterina Alexandrovna Borovskaya (* 1918), who also appeared at the Lensoviet Theater . Their son Alexander was born in 1938.
