Ilya Matveyevich Konkov (Russian: Ð˜Ð»ÑŒÑ ÐœÐ°Ñ‚Ð²ÐµÐµÐ²Ð¸Ñ‡
Коньков, 1872 â€" 16 October 1920) was a Russian stage actor
better known under his stage name Uralov (Уралов).Born in Orsk
to the family of Orenburg Cossacks, Konkov spent his youth travelling
all over Russia, undertaking menial jobs. While in Ashkhabad, in late
1890s he joined a visiting Ukrainian theatre troupe. In 1904 he was
invited to the Komissarzhevskaya Theatre in Saint Petersburg where he
made himself a name in plays by Maxim Gorky, in particular, Summerfolk
(as Dvoyetochiye, 1904) and Children of the Sun (Chepurnoy, 1905).In
1907 Ilya Uralov (as he was now known) joined the Moscow Art Theatre
where his premiere parts included Varlaam (in Alexander Pushkin's
Boris Godunov, 1907), Someone in Grey (The Life of Man, 1907), the
Mayor (Revizor, 1908), Bolshintsov (A Month in the Country, Ivan
Turgenev, 1909) and Grigory (The Karamazov Brothers, after
Dostoyevsky's novel, 1910). In 1911 Uralov left the theatre to join
Alexandrinka; Stanislavsky later called MAT's decision to let him go a
'regrettable mistake'.During his eight years stint with the
Alexanrinsky Theatre (which he in 1918 became one of the
administrators of), Uralov has made his mark with his "juicy, fulsome
realism"; his acclaimed work included Peter the Great (The Assembly by
Pyotr Gnedich), Dikoy (The Storm by Alexander Ostrovsky), Varavvin
(The Case and Rasplyuyev's Merry Days by Aleksandr Sukhovo-Kobylin),
Knurov (Without a Dowry by Ostrovsky), Bessemenov (The Philistines by
Gorky), and Skotinin (The Minor by Denis Fonvizin).
