Vladimir Shchuko - Shchuko Family

Shchuko Family

Shchuko was married twice. According to Tatyana Shchuko (born 1934), her father remained a religious person, despite all political assignments, until his death and did not hide his faith from the public.

• His son Boris, a theatrical designer, was arrested for counterrevolutionary charges, and managed to survive the labor camps of Ukhta. Family members were confident that the persecution of Boris provoked the architect's untimely death at the age of sixty.
• Daughter, Marina Schuko (1915–1979) was an actress trained at the Bolshoy Drama Theater college. After escaping the trap of the Siege of Leningrad in 1941, she wandered through different provincial theatres until landing a 25-year career at a drama theatre in Vologda.
• Another daughter, Tatyana Shchuko, born in 1934, also became a drama actress. She has played at Saint Petersburg theatres for 50 years since 1958 and was still active as of the end of 2008. Her most recent awards include the 2002 State Prize of the Russian Federation for the Maly Drama Theatre (Lev Dodin theatre) production of Moscow Choir.

Architect Yury Shchuko, author of the 1954 Central Pavilion of the All-Russia Exhibition Centre and a junior architect of the 1931-1932 Bolshoy Dom, was Vladimir Shchuko's first cousin once removed. Yury Shchuko, along with three other contributors, collaborated with Vladimir Shchuko on the 1936 draft of the Soviet pavilion for the 1937 World Expo in Paris. This contest was won by Iofan.

Yury Shchuko's son, Vladislav Shchuko (1942–2007), was a structural engineer and a professor at Vladimir State University.
