Yvan Kyrlya

Yvan Kyrlya (March 17, 1909 Mari El-July 1, 1943 Sernursky District) also known as Iywan Kyrlja or Kirill Ivanovich Ivanov was a Russian actor and poet.

Born in Mari El, Russia, Yvan Kyrlya was a talented artist from a young age. He began his career as an actor in various theatre productions before making his film debut in the 1933 movie "The Great Citizen". Kyrlya quickly gained recognition and became known for his notable performances in the films "Chapaev" (1934), "The Return of Maxim" (1937), and "Michurin" (1949).

Aside from his acting career, Kyrlya was also a gifted poet. He published several collections of his poems during his lifetime and was a member of the All-Union Writers' Union.

Tragically, Kyrlya's life was cut short when he was executed by the Nazis in 1943 during World War II. However, his legacy lived on and he posthumously received various awards including the Stalin Prize in 1946 for his contribution to the Soviet film industry. Today, he is remembered as one of Russia's greatest actors and poets.
