Pyotr Petrovich Glebov[a] (14 April 1915 – 17 April 2000), was a Russian film actor from the Russian noble Glebov family [ru].[1]

In 1940, Glebov graduated from the Stanislavsky School where his teachers included Mikhail Kedrov. When World War II broke out, the young actor volunteered to fight for the Red Army. He took part in the Battle of Moscow as an anti-aircraft gunner.[citation needed]

Glebov is best known for portraying the major protagonist, Grigory Melekhov, in the 1958 epic And Quiet Flows the Don, a trilogy directed by Sergei Gerasimov.[2][3]

In 1981, Glebov was awarded the honorary title People's Artist of the USSR and was awarded the Order of Lenin. He is buried in the Vagankovo Cemetery.
