The Green Carriage (Russian: Зелёная карета, romanized: Zelyonaya kareta) is a 1967 Soviet biographical drama film directed by Yan Frid and starring Natalya Tenyakova, Vladimir Chestnokov and Igor Dmitriev.

[2] The film tells the story of Varvara Nikolaevna Asenkova, an actress at the Alexandrinsky Theatre in the mid-19th century.

Additionally, as a young actress performing in nearly 300 plays a year, she had neither the time nor the energy for love affairs.

The film also touches on the historical context of the Imperial Theatrical School, where students were transported in green carriages.

Varvara's stepfather, Pavel Nikolaevich Krenitsyn, a retired military officer and the civil husband of her mother, Alexandra Yegorovna Asenkova—herself a well-known actress at the Alexandrinsky Theatre—served as the overseer of these carriages.
