George Hüfner (also known as Yuri Mikhailovich Givner and Yuri Gibner; c.– 1691) was a German-born teacher who lived in the German Quarter of Moscow and acted as a translator for the Embassy Order [ru]. In 1675, he was the director of the court theater for Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich. Hüfner is credited as the director and possibly the author of one of the earliest Russian plays, the Temir-Aksakov plot (comedy about Tamerlane and Bayezid). Researchers have identified features in Givner's plays that reflect elements of 17th-century English comedy, Western Russian school drama theatre [ru], medieval miracles, and even court ceremonies.
