Nagibin's mother Ksenia Nagibina was pregnant with him when his father — Kirill Nagibin, a Russian nobleman — was executed as a counter-revolutionary before he was born. He was raised by his Jewish stepfather Mark Leventhal who was also later arrested and sent into internal exile to the Russian North in Komi Republic in 1927. Nagibin was unaware of his real father, so he assumed he was partly Jewish (Nagibin's mother was of Russian ethnicity).

In 1938 he entered the Moscow State Medical University, but left it for VGIK. He wrote his first story in 194 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
