He spent his childhood and early days in Lviv. He was a student of the III State High School and Gymnasium in the name of King Stefan Batory in Lviv (in Polish Państwowego III Gimnazjum Męskiego im. Króla Stefana Batorego). During the war he worked in Lviv as a waiter in a restaurant. In 1944, after the second occupation of Lviv by the Red Army, he joined the Polish Army and fought as a soldier in the 4th Infantry Division. He participated in the liberation of Warsaw and in the battle of Kolobrzeg, among other events. Some biographical notes indicate that he also took part in the Battle of Lenino, although it is doubtful, given that the battle of Lenino took place in October 1943, and Ryszard Pietruski began service in LWP only in 1944.
In 1948 he passed his acting exams. Between 1978 and 1988 he was a director of the Warsaw Operetta.
He died as a result of a heart attack.
His first wife was the actress Maria Homerska, with whom he had his daughter Magdalena. His second wife was architect Hanna Buczkowska-Pietruska.
