Valentin Pluchek

Valentin Nikolayevich Pluchek (Russian: Валенти́н Никола́евич Плу́чек; 4 September 1909 - 17 August 2002) was a Russian theatre director. He is known as a stage director of the Physical Culture Day parade in Moscow during the Stalinist epoch.[1] The Physical Culture Day took place each summer at central squares of major Soviet cities.

Pluchek worked with the director Vsevolod Meyerhold until he was arrested and shot in 1940, and then worked with the playwright Alexei Arbuzov. In 1950, he joined the "often-daring" Moscow Satire Theatre in 1950, and rose to chief director in 1957.[2]
