Никто не знал его настоящего имени… Тайна Георгия Милляра, Бабы-Яги СССР

At his anniversary celebration, schoolchildren were herded together as extras instead of his colleagues. The fate of Georgy Millyar is the story of the Soviet Union's most famous Baba Yaga, who hid a completely different face behind makeup her entire life. He was born the heir to two fortunes—the son of a French engineer and the granddaughter of a gold miner. The Revolution took everything: the family was forced to flee south, change their surname, and forever forget their origins. His path to film began with a job as a prop master in a provincial theater—and with an incredible chance when the young man had to take the role of Cinderella on stage in place of an ill actress. Then came a meeting with Alexander Rou, the iconic Baba Yaga, for whom no actress could be found, Kashchei the Immortal, played after a serious illness, and a heroic achievement on the set of "Morozko." But behind the scenes, another life unfolded: a fear that couldn't be spoken about out loud, and a woman who agreed to be his salvation after one legendary phrase. Why the country's leading storyteller died in oblivion and who remained by his side until his last day—watch to the end.
