Leonid Fedorovich Bykov (Russian: Леонид Фёдорович Быков, Ukrainian: Леонід Федорович Биков; 11 December 1928 in Znamenka village, Artemivsk Okruha of Ukraine, USSR — 11 April 1979 in Kyiv Oblast of Ukraine, USSR) was a Ukrainian Soviet actor, film director, and script writer. He received the "Honored Artist of the RSFSR" title in 1965 and the "People's Artist of the Ukrainian SSR" title in 1974.[1]
Bykov contributed to several Soviet World War II films that portrayed a stereotypical Soviet Ukrainian. Bykov died in a traffic accident in 1979 on the highway from Minsk to Kyiv.[2] In 1994, the International Astronomical Union named a minor planet after him, (4682) Bykov.[1]
