Half a century on one stage
Grigoriev was born on August 26, 1952, in Volgograd. His path at the Pushkin Theatre began in 1975, when he was still in his final year at GITIS: at that time, Alexei Govorukho invited the young actor to play Roller in a production of The Robbers. On the day he received his diploma, Grigoriev was already on tour with the troupe — and he subsequently remained faithful to that stage, playing dozens of roles, including in the productions Blaise, Treasure Island, Joan of Arc, and Great Magic. His home theater noted, that the stage images he created will remain forever in the memory of colleagues and audiences.
