Zinoviy Gerdt, a multifaceted individual, entered this world on September 21, 1916, in the charming town of Sebezh, which was then part of the Vitebsk Governorate within the vast Russian Empire, a region that has since undergone significant changes, with Sebezh now nestled within the borders of Pskov Oblast, Russia.
As an accomplished actor and writer, Gerdt's talents were showcased in a variety of films, including the critically acclaimed "The Golden Calf" released in 1968, as well as "Anemos stin poli" in 1996 and "Bindyuzhnik i korol" in 1989, a testament to his enduring impact on the world of cinema.
Sadly, Gerdt's life came to a close on November 19, 1996, in Moscow, Russia, a city that has played host to countless artistic endeavors and cultural achievements throughout its storied history.
