At the age of fourteen, Yukhtin was orphaned: his mother died at the front during the Second World War in 1942, and his father died of wounds in 1946. He ended up in a special orphanage for the children of dead army and navy officers. Later he ended up in the Volga region, where the teacher, a former actress, introduced her pupils to amateur art. Then Yukhtin became seriously interested in theatrical art.

Yukhtin graduated from the All-Union State Institute of Cinematography. Since 1955, he has been an actor at the National Film Actors' Theatre. He appeared in more than 100 films between 1955 and 1991.
