Boris Andreyevich Babochkin[a] (18 January 1904 – 17 July 1975) was a Soviet and Russian film and theater actor and director.[1] Boris Babochkin was one of the first internationally recognized stars of the Soviet-Russian cinema. He rose to fame with the title role in the classic film Chapaev (1934) and later, in the 1950s, he played a sharp anti-communist character on stage in Moscow, for which he was censored by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.[2]
