Playing the Part

Elena, the sister of my paternal Grandmother, Tatjana, worked as an actress in the Soviet Union. Stage directors usually cast her in the role of an aristocrat.

Here she is in the role of roles, as a member of Catherine I's court:


Moscow, Russian Soviet Socialist Republic, June 6, 1967. Elena is satisfied by a good performance.

UPDATE: I later posted what Elena said about this photo here.
