    Biography, movies and analysis of Yul Brynner

    Early Life

    Yul Brynner was born as Yuliy Borisovich Briner in 1920 in Russian most eastern port town Vladivostok. He grew up amidst the turbulent period in post-revolutionary Russia. At that time Vladivostok was part of the so-called Far Eastern Republic, an independent state that existed from 1920 until 1922t was overthrown by the Soviet Red Army making it part of the Soviet-Union.

    His father, Boris Yuliyevich Briner, was a wealthy mining engineer while his mother, Marousia Dimitrievna, worked as an actress and singer. They lived a good life at the time when Yul was born, but that came to a tragic end when the Soviets confiscated all their belongings.
