Zaynab Sadriyeva (25 November 1914, Astrakhan – 31 October 1991, Tashkent) was a Soviet Uzbek theater and film actress.[1][2][3] She was honored with the title People's Artist of the Uzbek SSR in 1952 and awarded the State Hamza Prize in 1979.
She was born into a Kazan Tatar family. In 1920, her father, Sadridin, moved the family to the town of Kaunchi near Tashkent, where he started working at a sugar factory (now the city of Yangiyul).[3] From childhood, she absorbed the Uzbek language, which became her second language and shaped her entire stage of life.[4] She also mastered the Russian language. While studying at a pedagogical college, she performed in amateur theatrical productions. In 1929, she joined the Workers' Mobile Theater, gaining her initial theatrical experience.[3][1]
From 1932 onwards, she was an actress at the Hamza Theater (now the Uzbek National Academic Drama Theater). She created vivid, significant, and sharply dramatic characters, portraying strong-willed women facing challenging destinies: Vassa Zheleznova, Kruchinina, Lyubov Yarovaya, Glafira in "The Last Sacrifice," Feklusha in "The Storm," among others. Zaynab Sadriyeva's deep temperament and emotional power gave a romantic-tragic resonance to her characters. The works of Gorky played a significant role in shaping the actress's mastery. She died on 31 October 1991.[5]
