Stanislavski was working in the late 19th and early 20th century in Russia so he saw the transition in society's standards and expectations and scientific and technological developments. This affected him greatly in his career as being an actor was deemed 'socially embarrassing' so Stanislavski had to act and preach his ideas under this stage name. He was acting as only an amateur until 1897 when it became his profession.
He had a privileged upbringing as his family was wealthy so he had many opportunities to visit ballets, operas, plays and circuses. This would have helped to influence his interest in performing and acting and, although his family loved visiting the theatre, they highly disapproved of Stanislavski going through with the profession
