Ivan Fyodorovich Gorbunov (Russian: Иван ФÑ'дорович

Ð"орбунов, 22 September 1831 â€" 5 January 1896) was a Russian

writer and stage actor, considered to be a forefather for the

"literary theatre" subgenre in his county.Born in Ivanteyevka, Moscow

Governorate, Imperial Russia, as a writer, Gorbunov started out in

1853, as a contributor of stories and sketches to Moskvityanin, and

later Otechestvennye Zapiski. In 1854 he debuted on stage the Moscow

Maly Theatre in Moscow. Two years later he moved north to the

Alexandrinka with which he stayed till the end of his life. In the

course of forty years he played 54 parts, most of them in plays by

Alexander Ostrovsky (most memorably, Kudryash in The Storm, Pyotr in

The Forest and Afonya in Sin and Sorrow Are Common to All), his friend

for whom he occasionally worked as a secretary.In the 1850s Gorbunov

started to introduce the audiences with his own original repertoire of

dramatized short stories under the heading of Scenes from the People's

Life (Сцены из народного быта), satirizing all

strata of the Russian society, particularly petty state officials.

They earned him praise from Dostoyevsky, who found there "...a lot of

astute observations and the deep understanding of the nature of

Russian people."Famous across Russia, Gorbunov was equally loved by

peasants and the last of the three Russian Tsars. The humour of his

stories "spread all through the country in the form of proverbs, and

folk jokes," according to Alexey Pleshcheyev. Later in his life

Gorbunov acquired the reputation of a credible Russian theatre

historian. He was the founder of the first ever museum of theatre in

his country.
