Biography

Nikolai Grinko was born on 22 May 1920,[1] in Kherson, Ukrainian SSR.[2] He died on 10 April 1989,[1] in Kiev.[2]

His wife was Ayshe Rafetovna Chulak-ogly (born 1932), a violinist of the State Radio and Television Symphony Orchestra of the Ukrainian SSR, a jazz-symphonic ensemble Dnepr.[3]

Career

In 1961, Grinko switched to cinema. But at his "native" Dovzhenko Film Studio, he was not considered a "native" actor, he was filmed very little, and was not offered any leading roles. His screenplay for Ivan Franko's Stolen Happiness had been lying in the studio offices for 6 years and was put on the shelf.

Grinko is well known for his roles in the films of Andrei Tarkovsky, including: Ivan's Childhood, Andrei Rublev, Solaris, Mirror, and Stalker.[4][5]
