Soviet film and theater actor and People's Artist of the RSFSR Vaclav Yanovich Dvorzhetsky was born on August 3, 1910 in Kiev. His family, consisting of hereditary nobles, allowed Wenceslas to receive an excellent education. He studied at the theater studio of the Kiev Polish Drama Theatre, and then (until 1930) at the Kyiv Polytechnic University.
The beginning of the thirties for Wenceslas took place in the camps. He was convicted as a member of the Personality Liberation Group and sent to build a railway, the Tulom hydroelectric power station and the White Sea-Baltic Canal. After his release, Vaclav Dvorzhetsky returned to Kiev, but could not get a job in the theater because of his status as a former political prisoner. After a long search, Vaclav moved to Kharkov, where he was able to get a job in the workers’ and collective farm theater No. 4. But even there he did not linger and went to the suburbs, to his cousin, and then to Omsk, where he finally found shelter.
In Omsk, Vaclav Dvorzetsky was admitted to the Theatre of the Young Spectator, where he met his future wife, ballerina Taisia Ray. In the pre-war years, he was able to prove himself both as an actor and as a director, working on performances. However, in 1941 he was arrested again. He returned to the Wenceslas Theatre only in 1946, having parted with his wife due to treason. Going to work in the Omsk Drama Theatre, Dvorzhetsky met a graduate of GITIS Riva Levite, whom he later married. Riva became the mother of the famous actor Eugene Dvorzetsky, born in 1960.

Since 1965, Vaclav Dvorzecki starred in film and television. As noted by film critics, his best works were roles in the films “Red and Black”, “Shield and Sword”, “Lubavins”.
" An oriole is crying somewhere. Through Thorns in the Stars, etc. Dvorzhetsky even got into such a well-known international picture as Tehran 43. Acting in films, Vaclav did not leave the theater, until recent years working in the Gorky Drama Theater.
