Pavel Kadochnikov - People's Artist of the USSR, laureate of State Awards for Acting Works (1948 - "The Feat of a Scout"; 1949 - "The Tale of a Real Man"; 1951 - "Far from Moscow") Hero of Socialist Labor (1985). Very few masters of a past era have the same regalia. But there was a time when a boy born in Petrograd, Pavel, did not even dream of anything like this - he wanted to become an artist, and his father's illness forced him to take over his earnings and get up to the factory machine.
Kadochnikov was stubborn and, despite his employment, knew how to carve out time for painting. As a result, this passion led him to the theater - in his studio he met the director A. Avdeev and for excellent performance of chaptushki was enrolled in the theater studio.
Pavel was enrolled in the Theatre College before graduating from high school, and he was only fifteen years old when this educational institution was transformed into a theater institute, and he became a student.
From 1935 to 1944, Kadochnikov was the leading actor of the Leningrad New Theatre for Young Spectators. Here he met his fate - actress Rosalia Kotovich became Pavel's wife. Together they went through life, suffering and adversity and joy.
In the cinema, the first notable role of Pavel Kadochnikov was one of the characters.
The Man with the Gun The film, which gave the artist great popularity, was the adaptation of the book "The Tale of a Real Man": Pavel Petrovich played the legendary pilot Alexei Maresyev, Hero of the Soviet Union, who after amputation of his legs managed to return to combat aviation, at the helm of a fighter, and beat the enemy.
Having played several significant characters in successful films, in the mid-60s Pavel Petrovich fell out of favor with the top leadership of the country, and directors stopped inviting him to their films. The exception was the proposal of Nikita Mikhalkov - thanks to him, Kadochnikov starred in the film "Unfinished Play for Mechanical Piano", and from this work he returned to his former popularity.
The great actor died on May 2, 1988, a few months after his directorial work, the biographical film Silver Strings, was released. /
