Vladimir Dmitrevsky
Vladimir Alexandrovich Demert (russian: Владимир Александрович Демерт, born 31 July 1820, died 3 February 1871) was a Russian stage actor, one of the leading figures at the Moscow's Maly Theatre, better known under his stage name Dmitrevsky (Дмитревский).

The Storm (Ostrovsky)
''The Storm'' (russian: Гроза, sometimes translated as ''The Thunderstorm'') is a drama in five acts by the 19th-century Russian playwright Aleksandr Ostrovsky. As with Ostrovsky's other plays, ''The Storm'' is a work of social criticism, which is directed particularly towards the Russian merchant class.

Male Actors From The Russian Empire
Male (symbol: ♂) is the sex of an organism that produces the gamete (sex cell) known as sperm, which fuses with the larger female gamete, or ovum, in the process of fertilization. A male organism cannot reproduce sexually without access to at least one ovum from a female, but some organisms can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Most male mammals, including male humans, have a Y chromosome, which codes for the production of larger amounts of testosterone to develop male reproductive organs. Not all species share a common sex-determination system. In most animals, including humans, sex is determined genetically; however, species such as ''Cymothoa exigua'' change sex depending on the number of females present in the vicinity. In humans, the word ''male'' can also be used to refer to gender in the social sense of gender role or gender identity. Overview The existence of separate sexes has evolved independently at different times and in different lineages, an example of ...
