About Boris Babochkin

Boris Andreyevich Babochkin was a Soviet and Russian film and theater actor and director. Boris Babochkin was one of the first internationally recognized stars of the Soviet-Russian cinema. He rose to fame with the title role in the classic film Chapaev (1934) and later, in the 1950s, he played a sharp anti-communist character on stage in Moscow, for which he was censored by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. There, with his elder brother Vitaly Babochkin, Boris worked his first professional season on stage.
