Aleksei Yevgenyevich Kravchenko (Russian: Алексе́й Евге́ньевич Кра́вченко;[1] born 10 October 1969) is a Russian actor known for his role in the 1985 film Come and See as a young boy in the resistance army.
Biography[edit]
Kravchenko was born in Moscow, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union. In 1985, aged 15, he made his debut in the film Come and See directed by Elem Klimov. He was 14 when filming started. After graduating from vocational school, he served in the Navy.
He attended the Boris Shchukin Theatre Institute, starting in 1991 and graduating in 1995 (he was taught by renowned actress Alla Kazanskaya).
He did not act in anything for more than a decade, but since 1998, he has appeared in at least one film or TV show almost every year. He was awarded the Merited Artist of the Russian Federation in 2007.[1]
In 2020, he was awarded the People's Artist of Russia.[2]
In 2023, the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine added Aleksei Kravchenko to the list of persons posing a threat to the national security of Ukraine due to his involvement in the 2021 propaganda film Solntsepyok, which depicts the war in Eastern Ukraine and portrays PMC Wagner mercenaries as positive characters.[3] Filming took place in Crimea, annexed by Russia, where Kravchenko entered in violation of Ukrainian law which prohibits entering Crimea via Russia.
