Taganka Theatre
Orochko is best remembered as an acting teacher and theatrical organizer. Beginning in 1922, she taught acting at the Vakhtangov School, later renamed the Boris Shchukin Theatre Institute. Her students included Vladimir Etush, Boris Khmelnitsky, Aleksandr Grave, and Alla Demidova. She was described as the "godmother" of the Taganka Theatre, because so many of its founding members had been her students. She died in Moscow and was buried at [[Novodevichy Cemetery]].
