Mikhail Ulyanov was an outstanding Soviet and Russian stage and film actor, theatre director, pedagogue, and public figure, People's Artist of the USSR, and Hero of Socialist Labour. Born in 1927 in the village of Bergamak (Siberian Krai), he graduated from the Shchukin Theatre School in 1950 and joined the troupe of the Vakhtangov Theatre, to which he dedicated his entire life. On the Vakhtangov stage, Ulyanov created a gallery of vivid and distinctive characters, demonstrating a range from high pathos to grotesque. Among his iconic roles were Victor in "Warsaw Melody", Brigella in "Princess Turandot", Gulevoy in "Konarmiya", and Edigey in "The Day Lasts More Than a Hundred Years". He also portrayed historical figures with immense dramatic power, including Lenin in "Brest Peace" and Gaius Julius Caesar in "Ides of March". From 1987 until the end of his life, Mikhail Ulyanov served as the artistic director of the Vakhtangov Theatre, making a huge contribution to preserving and developing its traditions, while also actively engaging in directing and pedagogical activities. His film career was equally impressive, with around 70 roles, the central place among which is occupied by the image of Marshal Georgy Zhukov in the "Liberation" film series and other movies, as well as roles in "The Chairman", "The Brothers Karamazov", "Private Life", and "The Master and Margarita". The Bakhrushin Theatre Museum's online collection features photographs, archival documents, and other materials related to the work of Mikhail Ulyanov.
