Elina is confident that it is necessary to purchase the freedom of plastic to make it easier to feel on stage. The first exit on the professional scene Nezhin Drama in the play "Maroussia Boguslavka, where she was dancing oriental dance, even more confirmed in her decision to become an actress. His parents were against her admission to theater. A military man, my father used to act in a military. Arriving in Kiev and met with the Director of Theater Institute, he turned with a single request - to explain to his daughter that the theater institute she has nothing to do.
Elina takes compromise and entered the Nezhinskii Pedagogical Institute. But a year later leaves him for the sake of theatrical.
Then there was the Kiev Theatrical Institute im.I.K.Karpenko-Kary, meeting with remarkable teacher II Chabanenko and L. Oleinik.

Arbuzov, Varya White ( "Port Arthur" Popova and Stepanova), Claudius ( "The Story of a Real Man by BA field) and other.
Thoughtfulness and clarity in the work, the desire for completeness of forms - these qualities are already evident in the young actress. The theater was on tour in Leningrad, when Bystritskii invited immediately for two film roles. Choosing her was unexpected: Viola and Sebastian in Shakespeare ( "Twelfth Night"), the actress chose a contemporary of his - a doctor Elizabeth Maximovna in the film "An unfinished story". And in "Tanya" and "years of wandering, she also played doctors, knowing the people in this profession for the wartime evacuation hospital.

It was then that she truly understood what the profession. The film "An Unfinished story" (1955) was released shortly after the war. Unhealed wounds had not yet thawed the hearts of trials of war, the stronger was the desire for goodness in people and beauty. Understand and feel it, the actress has given her heroine a surprising light and personal charm. Bystritskaya in the role of Elizabeth Maximovna wanted to imitate. And imitated ... How many babies named
Elina then, how many girls then went to do in medical schools. According to the poll of the newspaper "Soviet Culture"
Elina Bystritskaya was recognized as the best actress.
This role brought her international fame and. In 1955, a delegation of cinematographers, she goes to the first week of Soviet film in Paris. Learned a lot from it for himself from the meetings with the world's screen legends: Yves Montand and Simone Signoret, Michele Morgan and Gц?rard Philipe, writers Elsa Triolet and Louis Aragon, artist Nadezhda Lц?ger. This trip was the result of many reflections. And although the French audience received her well, she knew what a difficult path to perfection must pass in order to win the title of "star".
In those days the fate gave her a meeting with FG Ranevskaya. To play "White Lotus", where the main role was to play Ranevskaya, could not find the young heroine. Accidental meeting of two actresses in the Cinema House - and Ranevskaya offers Directorate to take on this role
Elina Bystritskaya. So it was in the Pushkin Theater. But this work did not take place. Shootings "Quiet Flows the Don" and after their completion, the numbers in the theater six months, Bystritskaya did not return.
The fact that Sergei Gerasimov begin shooting Sholokhov's "Quiet Flows the Don", Bystritskaya learns in Paris. On the role Axinya she had dreamed of long ago, with the drama school.
