Mikhail Kononov, a renowned Russian actor, entered the world on April 25, 1940, in the vibrant city of Moscow, which was then part of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, within the vast and sprawling Soviet Union, now commonly referred to as Russia.
Throughout his illustrious career, Kononov made a lasting impact on the world of cinema, leaving behind a legacy of memorable performances in iconic films such as Andrei Rublev, a critically acclaimed 1966 drama directed by Andrei Tarkovsky, The Inner Circle, a 1991 historical drama, and At War as at War, a 1969 war drama.
Regrettably, Mikhail Kononov's life came to a close on July 16, 2007, in the city that had been his birthplace and his home for so many years, Moscow, Russia.
