Georgi Vasilyev (Russian: Георгий Николаевич Васильев, 1899–1946) and Sergei Vasilyev (Russian: Серге́й Дмитриевич Васильев, 1900–1959), usually credited as Vasilyev brothers (Russian: Братья Васильевы) were two Russian Soviet film directors and screenwriters. In spite of the fact that the two collaborators were not actually relatives, they accepted the popular misunderstanding that they were brothers and used it in the credits to their movies.[1]
