theatre pedagogue, one of the founders of the Moscow Sovremennik
Theatre. He was named People's Artist of the USSR in 1983 and awarded
the USSR State Prize in 1974.Yevgeny Yevstigneyev was born on 9
October 1926 in Nizhny Novgorod, Russian SFSR (modern day Nizhny
Novgorod Oblast of Russia) into a poor working-class family and spent
his childhood at the outskirts in the Volodarsky village. He was a
late child of Maria Ivanovna Yevstigneyeva (née Chernishova), a
milling machine operator, and a metallurgist Aleksandr Mikhailovich
Yevstigneyev who was twenty years older than her and who died when
Yevgeny was six years old. Maria Ivanovna married another man who died
when Yevgeny turned seventeen.By that time he had already finished
seven classes of secondary school and applied as a mechanic to the
same factory where his mother was working. Yet he dreamed of acting,
just like his elder half-brother who served as a comedy actor in the
local theatre and died very young, which made his mother to believe
that it was a bad sign; she asked the recruiting manager to keep her
son's documents and don't let him leave.During that period Yevgeny
became interested in jazz and started playing drums with a jazz band
that performed in cinemas. There he was noticed by the director of the
Gorky Theatre School (known as Y. A. Yevstigneyev Theatre School of
Nizhny Novgorod today) who invited him to join. Yevgeny passed the
entering exams in 1947 and graduated in 1951.
