Semjon Leontjewitsch Goldschtab

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Semjon Leontjewitsch Goldschtab ( Russian Семён Леонтьевич Гольдштаб ; * December 19, 1906 , † April 20, 1971 ) was a Soviet theater and film actor.

Life

Goldschtab studied at the theater school in Baku until 1924 and then belonged to the ensemble of the local theater "Die Möwe" . After that he worked at theaters in Kursk and Tomsk, among others . From 1935 to 1940 he played at the Kirov Theater in Kirov . From 1941 to 1944 he worked at the Tashkent film studio , from 1944 to 1946 at Mosfilm in Moscow , where he also played at the theater-studio of film actors ( Театр-студия киноактёра ) and then on other stages.

Goldschtab became known as the first actor in Stalin in Soviet films. He impersonated him for the first time in 1937 in Mikhail Romm's Lenin in October (at the side of Boris Schchukin as Lenin ) and until 1942 in three other films. After that, the Georgian Micheil Gelowani was the official Stalin actor until the dictator's death (only briefly replaced by Alexei Diki at the end of the 1940s ). Allegedly, Stalin's anti-Semitism, which increased after the Second World War , resulted in Goldschtabs being ascribed a few Stalin representations to Gelowani. In the course of the de-Stalinization after 1956, however, it was the same for both actors: most of their scenes were cut out of the films, or, as in the case of Goldschtab as Stalin in Lenin in October , when the film was copied by an actor such as B. a revolutionary sailor, undercover.
