Actress Galina Volchek, whose biography is available in all theater and cinema reference books and dictionaries published back in Soviet times, is loved by millions of Russians and people who are not alien to art all over the world.

If we manage with dry data, then we can state the following: Galina Borisovna is a full holder of the Order of Merit for the Fatherland and was awarded the title of People's Artist of the USSR. And this is not the whole list of awards behind which we stand the rich fate of a talented person.

Actress and director Galina Volchek largely repeats the biography of her parents - her father, a prominent figure in Soviet cinema, Volchek B. I., and her mother, screenwriter V. I. Maimina.

In 1933, the future actress Volchek Galina was born in this famous family. Being from an early age among talented and famous people, the girl absorbed the surrounding atmosphere, read a lot and, in fact, could not help but follow in the footsteps of her parents.

An event in the theatrical life of the country, the significance of which is difficult to overestimate, wasthe creation in 1956 of the studio, which later received the name Sovremennik. All metropolitan theaters reached their heights at a certain time, but the popularity of Sovremennik is incomparable to anything. This is primarily due to the large number of talented and original people whose thoughts and feelings are occupied with the theater. The performances became an event and were heard by everyone.

Among the founders of the theatre, director and actress Galina Volchek, whose biography is still associated with Sovremennik, occupied a special place. She became the 3rd chief director of the theater and heads it to this day. Under her leadership, the theater did not lose what it had achieved, with honor survived the troubled times in which the country plunged, and now it is striving for new heights.

As an actress Galina Volchek, whose biography is inextricably linked with cinema, she is talented in everything. As a theatrical figure, she takes her place of honor among the most venerable directors, and any of her roles in the cinema, even the smallest one, did not go unnoticed. Dozens of commendable articles have been devoted to her work in the film adaptation of King Lear.

The insignia of this actress can be listed for a very long time. Almost every production of her, from the first (“Two on a Seesaw”) to the last (“The Gin Game”), was awarded with an award and was a huge success with the audience and critics.

The successor of the glorious family tradition is her son, a well-known and titled cameraman and director Denis Yevstigneev.

The presence of such dynasties, where each subsequent family member not only does not detract from the contribution to the culture made by the predecessors, but also enriches it, speaks of the spiritual we alth of the country.

The undoubted merits of Galina Borisovna include her activities in bringing the cultures of Russia and the United States closer together. Since the first stunning production of "Echelon" at Houston's Alley Theater, the countries have been constantly exchanging theatrical productions, plays, directors and actors. In America, more and more people want to know what kind of theater Galina Volchek runs in her homeland, to come and see her work here.

Of course, the recent anniversary of G. B. Volchek has become a phenomenon in the life of the country. The director, playwright, public figure Galina Volchek, whose biography is marked by some significant event almost every year, is one of those bright individuals about whom N. Nekrasov wrote great words: “Mother nature, if only you would not send such people sometimes world, the field of life would have died out …"
