The grave of Ivan Kavaleridze at Baikowe Cemetery.

Kavaleridze was born in Ladanskyi (now Novopetrivka, Romny Raion, Sumy Oblast, Ukraine).[1] From 1907 to 1909, he studied at the Kiev Art School; from 1909 to 1910, he was an art student at the Imperial Academy of Arts; from 1910 to 1911, he studied with Naum Aronson, in Paris.[2] By 1910, he was noted for running his own amateur theater company in Romny.[3] Kavaleridze also sculpted a marble monument to Rus saints in 1911 at Volodymyr Street. It was restored in 1996 after it was taken down by the Communists in 1934.[4] In 1918 to 1920, he created monuments to Taras Shevchenko and Gregory Skovoroda.[5] Shevchenko's statue, which was erected opposite Kyiv University, became a location for nationalist demonstrations during the 1960s and 1980s.[4]

From 1928 to 1933, he worked as an artist, writer and director in the Odessa film studio, and from 1934 and 1941 in Kiev film studio. In 1936, Kawaleridze released the screen adaptation of Mykola Lysenko's Natalka Poltavka.[6] It was the first film-opera in the Soviet cinema.[6] From 1957 to 1962, he was a director at the Dovzhenko film studio.
