From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Igor Vladimirovich Ilyinsky (1901-1987) was the favorite comic actor of Vsevolod Meyerhold who starred in a number of his world-famous productions, including Magnificent Cuckold (1922), Vladimir Mayakovsky's Bedbug (1928), and Nikolai Gogol's Inspector General (1926). Following Meyerhold's repression he moved to the Malyi Theatre, where he worked for several decades, until being overpowered by blindness. Shortly before his death, he was declared a Hero of Socialist Labour.
Ilyinsky's career in movies was launched with a role of a private detective in Yakov Protazanov's Aelita (1924). He is best remembered by wider audiences as a roguish bureaucrat Ogurtsov in Volga-Volga (1938), where he played against Lyubov Orlova, and The Carnival Night (1956), where he played against Lyudmila Gurchenko. In the enormously popular Hussar Ballade (1962) Ilyinsky played Field-Marshal Kutuzov. His autobiography was published in 1961.
