Anna Alekseyevna Orochko (Russian: А́нна Алексе́евна Оро́чкo) (14 July 1898 – 26 December 1965) was a Soviet Russian stage and film actress, theatrical director, and acting teacher.
Orochko was born in the village of Shushenskoye, Yeniseysk Governorate, where her family had been sent as political exiles. Anna's godparents were Vladimir Lenin and his wife Nadezhda Krupskaya, who had been exiled to the same village. Years later, visitors to Orochko's apartment would be puzzled to see portraits of Lenin and Krupskaya hanging among religious icons.[1]
As a daughter of exiles, Orochko was forbidden to attend public schools under the Czarist regime. She graduated from a private high school in Tula in 1916. From 1916 to 1919 she studied agriculture in Moscow, at the same time pursuing a career in drama. In 1917 she was admitted to the Student Drama Studio[2] under the direction of Yevgeny Vakhtangov, later founder of the Vakhtangov Theatre. Vakhtangov appreciated her abilities as a tragedian and cast her in many traditionally male roles, including Horatio and Hamlet.[2]
