Evgeny Mikhailovich Malakhin (Russian: Евге́ний Миха́йлович Мала́хин, 16 September 1938 – 13 March 2005) was an artist and poet of Yekaterinburg, Russia, remembered for his bohemian but simplistic lifestyle, short aphoristic verse and extravagant street art. Citizens came to know him simply as the Old Man Bukashkin (Russian: Стари́к Бу́кашкин, ), the person in line somewhat of a skomorokh street-performer tradition. He himself humorously styled his title as "the People's Street sweeper of Russia", mocking the official People's Artist title bestowed by the State.
