Early life

Korenev was born 20 June 1940, in Sevastopol, in the family of Rear Admiral Boris Leonidovich Korenev. He lived in Izmail until the family moved to Tallinn, where he became interested in literature and theater. Classmate Larisa Luzhina led Vladimir to drama club, directed by Ivan Danilovich Rossomahin. The circle also engaged Vitali Konyayev, Igor Yasulovich and Lillian Malkina.

In 1957, he enrolled in GITIS in the studio of People's Artist of the RSFSR Gregory Konskiy and People's Artist of the USSR Olga Androvskaya.[3]

Korenev became famous in the 1960s, when he played the lead role of Ichthyander in the film The Amphibian Man, and became known as a sex symbol in the Soviet Union.[4]

In 1961, he came to the troupe of the Moscow Drama Theater where he was invited by Mikhail Yanshin, who led the theater at the time.[5]

By 2015, the professor had become artistic director of the Faculty of Theatre Arts Abbot.[6]
