Rudolf Furmanov was born in Leningrad on October 22, 1938. His mother was an employee of the Goznak factory and a master of sports in parachute jumping. The boy did not remember much about his father, because he left the family, unable to withstand the struggle of his wife with a serious illness. Furmanov's mother contracted tuberculosis. Rudik was not a year old when his father left him. After the mother's sudden death, her sister took over the upbringing of the boy. The war found him at the age of 3. Like thousands of other children, Rudolph learned all the horrors of the Leningrad blockade.

The boy and his aunt were lucky to survive in harsh times. And now he continues to thank his relative for his life and the established creative biography. Furmanov went to school and then to the gas-fuel technical school. This was followed by training at the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute. In his youth, he could not have imagined that he would become a famous actor and director, but his creative nature prevailed. In 1962 Furmanov entered the theater studies department of the Institute named after I. A. Ostrovsky and successfully graduated in 1964.

In the company of actors who became his friends, Furmanov often traveled around the country with concerts, which he organized himself. The director captured the memories of these adventures in the books "From the Life of a Crazy Entrepreneur" and "Oh, what an amazing game it was!"

Being a talented organizer, Furmanov caught fire with the idea of ​​creating a theater. The experience of communicating with the actors made it possible to count on the support of friends. This is how the Russian Entreprise appeared in St. Petersburg. The peculiarity of the organization's structure was that performances of the Russian classical repertoire were staged on the stage, and the actors collaborated with the theater on a contract basis according to the model of an entreprise.

The debut premiere was the production of Lyudmila Shuvalova's "Old-Fashioned Comedy" based on the work of Alexei Arbuzov. It involved Vladislav Strzhelchik and Alisa Freundlich.

In 1988 the stage got its own premises. Prior to that, the stage of various St. Petersburg theaters was rented for the performances. The cultural institution opened its doors to the public under the new name "Russian Entreprise" named after A. Mironova. Rudolf Davydovich often talked about his friendly relationship with the famous actor. Naming the theater in his honor, he sang the name of Mironov, creating an attractive image for his own stage.

In 1996, the theater found a home in the building on the Petrogradskaya side where it is now. The connections in the creative environment of St. Petersburg helped the entrepreneur assemble a contract troupe and begin work on new productions. Among the artists of the first wave were Valentin Gaft, Irina Mazurkevich, Valery Degtyar, Sergey Barkovsky, Irina Sokolova and others. The director himself went on stage as an actor. The repertoire consisted of classical pieces based on plays by Hugo, Moliere, Goncharov and other authors.

Today the acting troupe of the theater consists of artists working in the state theaters of the city and employed in the entreprise.

In 1948, the artist made his debut. Rudolph starred in the movie "First Grader" based on the story of Yevgeny Schwartz when he was 10 years old.

Today the director works at the Furmanov Theater and puts on commercial performances. Having divorced Bulanova, Rudolf Davydovich married twice more, children did not appear in these unions.

He also helps in the upbringing of Alexei's grandson, who, continuing the dynasty, received an acting education.

In 2019, a serious scandal erupted around the person of Rudolf Davydovich. A year earlier, the governor of St. Petersburg, Alexander Beglov, appointed Furmanov an adviser, relying on the positive reputation and experience of a cultural figure. Taking advantage of the new status, the entrepreneur prepared a program for the development of St. Petersburg culture, in which other officials saw Furmanov's personal interests.

The expulsion from the Union of Theater Workers became a very realistic prospect for the director in March 2019. He made sharp statements against the St. Petersburg artistic directors, challenging the appointment to the post of Viktor Novikov, artistic director of the theater. V.F.Komissarzhevskaya. Furmanov also assured of the injustice of the loss as the leader of Yuri Butusov. The director's colleagues perceived him as an insolvent program developer and spoke negatively about the author of the project.
