Sergei Obraztsov is a Russian puppeteer who was featured in an episode of Jim Henson Presents: The World of Puppetry. Of the show's guests, the Henson Archivist points out that Jim Henson placed a special importance on meeting Obraztsov: "As a teenager learning to make puppets, Jim checked out some books from the public library for instruction – one was Obrtazov’s 1950 book, My Profession."
