Acting in St. Petersburg

Here is Elena, a sister of my paternal Grandmother Tatjana, in another role in a Soviet-era film.

This was a film about Pushkin. I am a “Russian aristocrat” on a walk near Pushkin's house.

These photographs were particularly pleasing to me, as this was a film about Pushkin. I also appeared in Anna Karenina, but I do not have a photo yet.

St. Petersburg (then Leningrad), Russian Soviet Socialist Republic, 1966. Elena "cropped out" other actors who appeared in photographs with her before she mailed the snapshots to Tatjana. Was she protecting them, so that they would not appear in photos sent to the United States?

Thanks fo my friend, D, for translating the description of this photo.
