EDITORS COMMENTS
This rare print captures a moment in time with Briner Julius, later known as the iconic Hollywood actor Yul Brynner, alongside his beloved grandmother Anna Timofeevna Blagovidova and sisters Vera and Irina in 1924. The image is part of a collection of 82 photos from the archive of Yul Brynner, showcasing his early life in Vladivostok before he rose to fame on the silver screen. Yul Brynner's roots trace back to Vladivostok, where his grandfather Iulii Ivanovich Briner was a prominent businessman and public figure in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The family eventually emigrated from Primor'e in 1931, leading them on a journey through China, France, and ultimately settling in the United States. The photograph offers a glimpse into Yul Brynner's personal history, shedding light on the connections that shaped his identity before becoming an Academy Award-winning actor. It serves as a poignant reminder of his humble beginnings and the strong familial bonds that influenced his path to stardom. Preserved in the V.K. Arseniev Primorsky Regional Unified Museum in Vladivostok, this snapshot captures not just a moment frozen in time but also a piece of cinematic history waiting to be discovered by future generations.
