Varvara Aleksandrovna Popova (Russian: Варвара Александровна Попова) (17 December 1899 - 31 October 1988) was a Soviet stage and film actress. She appeared in early silent films by Yakov Protazanov and Mikhail Doller, but most of her credits date from the 1960s, when she was in demand for character roles, generally as a grandmother, peasant woman, etc.[1] She appeared in several fairy-tale films by Aleksandr Rou. For many years she was a member of the company of the Vakhtangov Theatre.[2] She died in Moscow in 1988, and was buried in Vvedenskoye Cemetery.
