Born on December 25 (12), 1910 in Zaisan, now East Kazakhstan region, in the family of a teacher, a native of the Cossack environment. In 1925 he graduated from school in Omsk and went to Vladivostok to continue his studies, but a year later he went sailing as a sailor, then worked as a prospector at the gold mines on the Lena. In 1927, Vasiliev’s poems were published in Novosibirsk, written by him at the Lena mines. In 1928 Pavel Vasiliev came to Moscow, where he entered the V.Y.Bryusov Higher Literary and Art Institute. In 1930 saw the light of the book of his essays "In the golden exploration" and "People in the taiga". His poems and poems are published in newspapers and magazines. In 1928 in the magazine "Siberian Lights" were printed chapters from the poem "Songs about the death of the Cossack army", which completely never saw the light during the life of the poet. In 1933, in the magazine "New World" there is a poem "Salt Pillar", in 1934 - the poem "Sinitsyn and Co". Responding to collectivization in the Siberian village, P. Vasiliev wrote the poem “Kulaki” (printed in 1936). Vasiliev’s poetry is distinguished by a juicy language close to folk-song creativity, and the use of folklore motifs. The last poem, “Christolubov’s Colts”, on which he worked in 1935-36, was not completed (published in 1956). In 1932, together with L.N. Martynov and other young poets, Vasiliev was arrested for several months on charges of belonging to the “counter-revolutionary” group of writers. In 1935, after a letter signed by N. Aseev, A. Zharov, V. Inber, A. Surkov, B. Kornilov, A. Prokofiev, and others to the newspaper Pravda, convicted of “malicious hooliganism,” released in the spring of 1936. In February 1937, he was arrested again and sentenced to death on July 15 on charges of belonging to a “terrorist group”. He died in prison on July 17, 1937; he was rehabilitated posthumously. In the city of Pavlodar (Kazakhstan) opened the Museum of Pavel Vasiliev.
