My personal opinion: The Ukrainian tenor Ivan Kozlovsky studied at the Kiev Conservatory drama, piano and singing with N.V. Lissenko and his wife. He made his operatic debut at Poltava around 1918 as Faust, then moved to the Kharkov opera in 1924 and Sverdlovsk in 1925. He joined the Moscow Bolshoi Theatre in 1926 and was one of the leading tenors until 1954, then appeared occasionally until 1970 (role of the Innocent in Boris and farewell concert). In an unusually long career, he appeared still frequently in public 1972-1976 and sings on July 4, 1985 for Mark Reizen’s 90th birthday at the Moscow Bolshoi. Ivan Kozlovsky was famous as Lensky (Onegin), Berendey (Snegurochka - the Snow Maiden
