Lev Konstantinovich Atamanov (Russian: Лев Константи́нович Атама́нов), born Levon Konstantinovich Atamanyan (Russian: Лево́н Константи́нович Атаманя́н, Armenian: Լևոն Ատամանյան; 21 February [O.S. 8 February] 1905 – 12 February 1981), was a Soviet Armenian animation director. Atamanov was one of the foremost Soviet animation film directors and one of the founders of Soviet animation art. He is the director of famous classics of Soviet animation, such as the prize-winning fairy tales Scarlet Flower (1952), The Golden Antelope (1954), the full-length animation The Snow Queen (1957), and the modern satirical tale The Key (1961). In his works Lev Atamanov subtly conveyed the national coloring of fairy tales and combined romantic elation in images of positive characters with warm and kind humor. Levon Konstantinovich Atamanyan was born in Moscow into an Armenian family hailing from Nakhichevan-on-Don. Atamanov studied acting and directing with Lev Kuleshov at the Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography, graduating in 1926. Atamanov first worked as an assistant to the painter and animator Yuri Merkulov and later joined Mezhrabpomfilm Studio. Atamanov’s debut was the short public service announcement Across the Street (1931, with Vladimir Suteev), which explained traffic rules. He then made one of the first animated sound pictures, The Tale of the Little White Bull (1933), an allegorical anti-Western pamphlet directed against the League of Nations.
