In memory of theater and film actor, theater teacher, World War II veteran, and People's Artist of the USSR Vladimir Etush (1922–2019), an unnamed street and road network located in the Ramenki district has been renamed Vladimir Etush Street. The new street runs between Lobachevsky and Vasily Lanovoy Streets, near building 116 on Lobachevsky Street. The corresponding resolution was signed at a meeting of the Presidium of the Moscow Government.
Vladimir Etush Street will become part of the film district in Ramenki, 11 of whose streets already bear the names of famous Russian directors and actors: Alexei Batalov, Vasily Lanovoy, Sergei Bondarchuk, Oleg Tabakov, Anatoly Papanov, Yevgeny Yevstigneyev, Faina Ranevskaya, Leonid Gaidai, Oleg Yankovsky, Innokenty Smoktunovsky, and Andrei Mironov.
Vladimir Etush was born in Moscow on May 6, 1922. With the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War in 1941, he volunteered for the front, fought in the mountains of Kabardino-Balkaria, participated in the liberation of Rostov-on-Don and cities of the Ukrainian SSR, and was awarded the Order of the Red Star. In 1943, he was seriously wounded near Zaporizhzhia.
In 1944, Vladimir Etush returned to the capital. After graduating from the B.V. Shchukin Theatre School, he was accepted to the Yevgeny Vakhtangov Theatre, where he soon became one of the leading actors.
In 1945, Vladimir Etush began teaching as an assistant acting teacher at the B.V. Shchukin Theatre School, where he became a professor in 1976. For over 30 years (since 1987), he served as the rector and artistic director of the university.
