Autorenporträt
Born in Oryol, Soviet Russia in 1952, Sergey Fetisov graduated as an actor from Moscow's prestigious GITIS institute. In addition to an extensive theatre career, he acted in over 40 Soviet and later Russian films and TV series, including the Estonian feature film Georg (2007). He was one of the founding members of the "Russian Style Theatre" in Oryol. His memoir The Story of Roman was first published in the early 90's under the pseudonym Sergey Nizhny and was the basis for the 2021 feature film Firebird by Estonian director Peeter Rebane. After battling long-term illness, Sergey passed away on May 3, 2017. A force of unconditional love, he never ceased to approach life with courage, joy and wonder.
