Biography

She was born in Omsk. The family subsequently moved to Moscow.[2]

Her parents were Nikolai Matveyevich Arkhipov, a Siberian native of Irkutsk, and Maria Nikolayevna from St. Petersburg, who was shot when Nina was ten years old.

As a child, Nina Arkhipova loved to sing, dance, and play the piano. Living in Zamoskvorechye, she frequented the theater and began to think about the acting profession. After high school, she decided to apply not only to the studio theater – at the Vakhtangov and the Maly Theater and Russian Academy of Theatre Arts, but also to the law faculty of Moscow State University. Arkhipova passed exams and was accepted everywhere. She decided to stop the choice on the Boris Shchukin Theatre Institute at the Vakhtangov Theater. Her teacher was the famous Cecilia Mansurova. In 1945 she graduated from drama school. From 1943 to 1951, she worked at the Vakhtangov Theatre.

From 1951 till 2016, she was a leading actress of the Moscow Satire Theatre. Over the years, she performed over 100 roles.[2]

She made her debut in 1946 in the drama Aleksandr Stolper Our Heart. Four years later, she played Faith in Boris Barnet's Generous Summer. This role is considered one of the most important in her career. It became widely known with the release in theaters of the teleplay Awake and Sing!

In 2014, the actress published a book, Life in the Given Circumstances.
