From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia Yury Mefodievich Solomin is a Russian actor who has directed the Malyi Theatre in Moscow since 1988.
Solomin studied at the Malyi theatre school and joined its troupe in 1957. He was acclaimed as Khlestakov in Igor Ilyinsky's production of The Inspector General (1966), Tsar Feodor in Tsar Feodor Ioannovich (1976), Nicholas II in Az Vosdam... (1990), and Famusov in his own production of Wit Works Woe (2000). Solomin was cast as a Russian imperial officer in many Soviet movies, including Akira Kurosawa's Dersu Uzala (1971), which won him a Japanese decoration for the outstanding contribution to the world culture (1993).
