January 6] – 28 May 1965, born Blagonravov) was a pioneering Russian film director and actor who strove to raise the artistic level of Russian cinema. He first gained renown as a stage actor in the adaptations of Russian classics by Vera Komissarzhevskaya and other directors. In 1913, he turned to cinema and started producing screen versions of great Russian fiction: Anna Karenina (1914), The Kreutzer Sonata (1914), A Nest of Noblemen (1914), War and Peace (1915, co-directed with Yakov Protazanov), and On the Eve (1915).
