In St. Petersburg, at the age of 85, the St. Petersburg film director, Honored Artist of the Russian Federation Oleg Ryabokon passed away. Fontanka learned regarding this on January 6.
Oleg Ryabokon graduated from the Leningrad Military Mechanical Institute in 1961, and in 1972 from the acting and directing department at the Leningrad State Institute of Theater, Music and Cinematography.
Ryabokon is familiar to the viewer primarily from the 1983 film “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves” – the main roles were played by Oleg Tabakov, Tatyana Nikitina, Veniamin Smekhov and Armen Dzhigarkhanyan. In 1985, the director made a television benefit film for Nikolai Karachentsov, “One for All!” His filmography also includes the films “Physicists”, “The Beautiful Helen”, “Steps of the Emperor”, the television play “Aesop” and others.
