Received some education at a school in St. Petersburg, and in the City School of Novgorod, but graduated from neither. In 1896-1904, he performed as an accordionist, singer, balalaika-player, and couplets singer on stages of cafes theatres throughout St. Petersburg, Moscow, and in the provinces. From 1904, he played mostly simpleton parts; then he got a part as a jeune premier in an operetta. He scored an instant and huge success and became an operetta leading actor. He performed on operetta stages in St. Petersburg (Buff, Passage, Panaev Theatre), Moscow, and the provinces. In 1913-14 he was an actor at K.A.

In 1919-36 he was one of the BDT principals, becoming the BDT's director in 1921-23. His first performance at the BDT (Philip II in Don Carlos by F. Schiller, 1919) confirmed Monakhov's reputation as an outstanding tragic actor who masterfully painted the images of his characters with large lavish strokes while accurately representing psychological undertones. On the drama stage, Monakhov demonstrated his musical talent and virtuoso synthesising technique. Monakhov's best-performed dramatic roles at the BDT included Iago in Othello and Shylock in The Merchant of Venice by W. Shakespeare (1920); Franz Moors in F. Schiller's The Robbers (1919), Tsarevitch Alexey in the play of the same name by D.S. Merezhkovsky (1920); and Captain Christopherson in Anna Christie E. O'Neill (1924). Monakhov's talent was also exhibited in the comic characters of Mascarille in The Pretentious Young Ladies and Sganarelle in The Doctor in Spite of Himself by J.-B. Moliere, Truffaldino in The Servant of Two Masters by C. Goldoni (1921). His most recognized achievements are considered the creation of characters from modern plays: Rasputin in The Plot of the Empress by A.N. Tolstoy and P.E. Shchegolev and Ruzaev in The Rebellion by B. A. Lavreneva (1925), Granatov in A Man with a Brief Case by A.M. Faiko (1928), Egor Bulychov in Egor Bulychov and others by M. Gorky (1932). In 1928 he began acting in films.

He graduated from the First St. Petersburg Gymnasia and began to appear in the press in 1910. In 1914 he entered the Faculty of History and Philology of Petrograd University, but in 1916 was mobilised to serve in the army. He took part in the February Revolution and October Revolution of 1917, as well as in the Civil War. He was a member of the Third "Guild of Poets". His first collections of poems include: Years in Gymnasia (1914), Summer, Golden Spindle (both date back to 1921), Ursa Major (1926), Granite Garden (1929); altogether he published over 30 volumes of poetry. His acquaintance with A.A. Blok had a significant impact on Rozhdestvensky. In the early 1920s M. Gorky engaged him in the work of the publishing house World Literature, and that appeared to be the starting point of his poetic translations to which he devoted himself. In 1941 he was attached to the Leningrad Militia, later assumed the functions of a war correspondent at the Volkhovsky and Karelsky fronts. Rozhdestvensky left memoirs Passages of Life (1962, second edition in 1974), Box of Memory (1972), and a number of opera librettos. The unique image of his native city, which had inspired the best works of Russian and World culture, as well as the heroic pages of its past, the charm of its suburbs represent the basic subjects of Rozhdestvensky's lyric poetry (cycles On the Banks of the Neva, The City of My Youth, Familiar Names, The City of Glory, Gardens of a Poet etc.). In 1919-21 he lived in the House of Arts, dwelled at 33 Liteiny Avenue from the late 1930s, and 9 Griboedova Canal Embankment from 1949 (memorial plaque). He was buried at Literatorskie Mostki.
