Vsevolod Larionov was a renowned Russian actor who made a lasting impact on the world of cinema and theater. Born with a silver spoon, being the nephew of the illustrious Sophia Giatsintova, Larionov followed in her footsteps and pursued a career in acting.
After graduating from the Theater School at the Lenin Komsomol Theater in 1950, Larionov joined the esteemed institution as an actor. He began with roles that showcased his youthful charm, gradually evolving into a master of comedic talent. His breakout performance in the title role of "Fifteen year old Captain" catapulted him to stardom, and he soon found himself in high-demand films such as "Cruiser 'Varyag'," "Przhevalsky," and "Silver Dust."
However, Larionov's career took an unexpected turn in the late 1950s, and he disappeared from the screens. It wasn't until the late 1970s that he returned to the big screen, this time taking on more complex and nuanced roles. His collaborations with Fyodor Nikolayevich in "Sibiriada," Ushakov in "Demidovs," Judge Bels in "The House that Swift Built," the Inquisitor in "The Siege of Venice," Kryukov in the series "Goryachev," and Colonel Gavrilov in "Russian singer" showcased his incredible range as an actor.
Larionov's crowning achievement was his portrayal of Sergei Diaghilev in the film "Anna Pavlova," a performance that solidified his status as a master of his craft. Tragically, Larionov's life was cut short when he passed away on October 8, 2000, in his Moscow apartment, succumbing to a long and debilitating illness.
