Kachalov, Vasili Ivanovich [ Vasili Ivanovich Shverubovich] (1875–1948), Russian actor, whose career covered the transition from Tsarist to Soviet Russia. After three years' apprenticeship in the provinces he joined the company at the Moscow Art Theatre, and played many leading roles, including the name parts in Julius Caesar and Hamlet and Ibsen's Brand. He was also seen as Ivan Karamazov in a dramatization of Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov and as the Reader in Leo Tolstoy's Resurrection, considered one of his best parts. He created the role of Vershinin, the hero in Ivanov's Armoured Train 14–69 (1927), and in 1938 appeared as Chatsky in Griboyedev's Woe from Wit, the part he had played when it was first seen at the Moscow Art Theatre in 1906.
