Vadim Borisovsky → Vladimir Bakaleinikov

Vadim Borisovsky studied under Vladimir Bakaleinikov at the Moscow Conservatory. After initially entering the conservatory in 1918 in the violin class of Mikhail Press, Borisovsky became interested in the viola and transferred to Bakaleinikov's class a year later. He graduated in 1922, becoming the first student to graduate from the conservatory specifically as a violist. In 1925, following Bakaleinikov's departure abroad, Borisovsky took over his former teacher's viola class at the conservatory.
