The famous Russian actor, born in Livny on October 10, 1818, early remained in the care of his maternal uncles, Grigory and Dmitry Sadovsky, famous provincial actors, whose surname he adopted. He made his debut for fourteen years in Tula, played in various provincial cities, in 1838 he came to Moscow and was soon accepted to the stage of the Imperial Theatres, from which he did not go down until his death, in July 1872. His fame gradually increased from 1853, when he played the role of Rusakov in the comedy Do not sit in your sled. Ostrovsky generally found in S. a brilliant performer; in the roles of Lyubim Tortsov ("Poverty is not a vice"), Podkhaluzin ("Our people - we will consider"), Benevolensky ("Poor bride"), Tita Titych ("Difficult days") and others he reached the highest perfection. Surprisingly good was S. and in the plays of Gogol (Osip and the Town Hall in the “Investigator”, Podkolesin in “Marriage”, Zamukhryshkin in “Players”.) Such Rasplyuev, as he appeared in the "Wedding of Krechinsky", never saw the Russian scene afterwards. Of the foreign classical repertoire, he was most successful Molière ("George Dunden", "Healer in captivity", "The philistine in the nobility" and others). S. can be called a representative of highly artistic realism; the laughter that he caused in the audience with his reading and facial expressions, his finest shade not only of the essential but also of the secondary features of the role performed, sometimes even his appearance on the stage was the artistic laughter with which we laugh when reading Gogol, Ostrovsky, Moliere and in which true tragedy is often heard (as, for example, when performing S. the role of Lyubim Tortsov). - A good article about S. was written by V. Rodislavsky ("Russian Bulletin", 1872, book 7); a lot of interesting things about S. in the memoirs of D. A. Karabchevsky, in the "Russian Thought" of the 1890s.
He died on July 19, 1872.
