His mother, named Elizaveta Akimovna, refused to emigrate and stayed home in Petrograd with her children. Young Yuri Lavrov was admitted to the troupe of Bolshoi Drama Theatre at the Age of 14. His stage costumes were designed by the legendary theatrical artist Alexandre Benois.
In 1924, Yuri Lavrov joined the troupe of "Molodoi Theatre" in Leningrad. That same year he married actress Olga Gudim-Levkovich and they lived on Ozerny Pereulok in the historic district of Leningrad (St. Petersburg). Their son, Kirill Lavrov was born in Leningrad and baptized at the nearby Chirch of St. John the Divine of Leushinsky Monastery. At that time Yuri Lavrov was a promising young actor and his future career looked bright. He made his film debut at Lenfilm studio in 1928, in Tretya molodost (1929) by director Vladimir Shmidtgof.
In the 1930s, Yuri Lavrov was shocked by a series of high-level political murders in Leningrad (St. Petersburg) and the following Great Purges under the dictatorship of Joseph Stalin. Stalin targeted intellectuals and cultural elite for the purpose of degrading the superior reputation of the former Russian capital by destruction of its culture and society. While the director of Bolshoi Drama Theatre (BDT) Aleksei Dikij was arrested and imprisoned, Yuri Lavrov managed to escape from Leningrad amidst the heat of the Stalinist repressions.
From 1938-1968 Yuri Lavrov was a permanent member of the troupe at Kiev State Russian Drama Theatre named after Lesya Ukrainka. During the years from 1941 - 1945 Yuri Lavrov was evacuated in Siberia because Kiev was occupied by the Nazis in the Second World War. In 1945 Yuri Lavrov with the theatrical troupe returned to Kiev. There, in 1950 he was joined by his son Kirill Lavrov who began his acting career in Kiev. There father and son Lavrovs worked in the same troupe for five years until Kirill Lavrov was invited to join the troupe of the Bolshoi Drama Theatre (BDT) in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg).

He died on 20 October 2008 in Kiev, Ukraine.- Soviet agrobiologist Trofim Denisovich Lysenko, was mainly known for his work on temperature variation on the life-cycle of plants before he rejected Mendelian genetics for his own theories. He became director of the USSR Institute of Genetics as a result of support from Joseph Stalin, who hoped he could eradicate famine. He did not believe in DNA or genes, and after WWII, combined his own theories with those of Olga Lepeshinskaya, to proclaim that non-cellular material could produce living cells. One of his theories, that plants of the same species can be planted very close together because they won't compete, has been blamed for more famines in the USSR and for bringing on China's Great Famine in 1959-61. Before the 1930s the Soviets had a thriving genetics community, but due to the imprisonment of anyone opposed to Lysenko's theories, it has been claimed he set Soviet biology back by 50 years.
