Creative activities
Russian actress and accomplished artist of the Russian Federation studied at the Russian State University of Cinematography named after S. A. Gera-simov, Department of Dramatic Art, the Sergei Bondarchuk Studio, and graduated in 1989. In the same year, she became famous and sex symbol of her time thanks to her role in the comedy Lysistrata. Nevertheless, it were the films The Ice Runner and Burial of the Rats which brought her international acclaim. In 2002, she became the star of the Moscow theatre Mossovjeta and portrayed Roxanne in Cyrano de Bergerac, or Feliciana
in the Dance Master, among other unique characters. In 2010, she starred in Jerzy Hoffman´s historical drama The Battle of Warsaw 1920. Miss Kabo currently works on „Ulanskaya ballada“, a film realised as glorious honour to the 200th anniversary of the victory at Borodino. Her newest artistic act is her role in the performance Memory of the Sun. Here she pays tribute to the oeuvre of Anna Achmatova. Even today, Olga Kabo symbolises beauty, femininity and dramatic art not only for Russian population but also for people from other post-communist countries. This represents
the meaningful truth that art and beauty live and exist everywhere and are not limited by state frontiers.
