Life
Konstantin Stanislavski praised Burdzhalov for his artistic gifts, but, first and foremost, "for his energy, willingness to help with resolving whatever technical difficulties would come our way," as well as "crystal clear, touchingly tender attitude to his art," according to the biographer Inna Solovyova. In 1921 Burdzhalov became the head of MAT's Fourth Studio. In 1922 he co-founded (with P.A. Podobed) the Moscow Art Theatre Museum. He authored one book, On the Artist (Об артисте, Teatr Publishers, 1914).[1]
A one-time prominent Moscow Art Theatre actress Margarita Savitskaya was his wife. The film and theatre director Arkady Burdzhalyan (1879-1946) was his brother.[2][1]
