Beginning of career

Vasily Makarovich Shukshin was born on July 25, 1929, into a peasant family. His father, Makar Leontyevich Shukshin (1912—1933), was arrested and shot in 1933 during collectivization. His mother, Maria Sergeyevna (née Popova; in her second marriage — Kuksina) (1909 — January 17, 1979), took on all responsibilities for the family. His sister was Natalya Makarovna Shukshina (November 16, 1931 — July 10, 2005). After his father’s arrest and until he received a passport, Vasily Makarovich was known by his mother’s surname as Vasily Popov.
