Childhood and youth
Pavel Chinarev was born in St. Petersburg in May 1986. No one in the family had anything to do with the world of acting; his parents were representatives of a dynasty of electrical engineers, but this did not stop Pavel from becoming an artist. Pasha is the second child in the family; he has a sister, Ekaterina, who is 10 years older. Today she works as a teacher. It was Katya who brought her brother to the theater studio.

Pavel Chinarev with his mother
After graduating from school, he entered the St. Petersburg State Academy of Theater Arts. Chinarev studied under the course of the famous Lev Dodin, who discovered and gave the country more than one film and stage star. After the 4th year and a sabbatical leave, during which Pavel decided to master the profession of a bartender, he continued his studies on the course of Yuri Krasovsky.
After graduating from university, the guy did not immediately find himself on the acting path. At first he worked in a company organizing corporate events and holidays, and later tried his hand as a taxi driver. After a year of working in a taxi, Chinarev realized that it was necessary to return to the profession.
To understand and to forgive
“Alena and I met by chance in 2002 in Tallinn, when she and her mother came to star in the film “Amber Wings,” recalls Victoria Riismandel. — I lived in the Estonian capital then, and then moved to Spain. It turned out that we had many common interests and became strong friends. Alena was a believer and convinced me to be baptized. Her mother Irina Konstantinovna became my godmother.
According to her friends, one day Bondarchuk discovered a lump in her chest and immediately decided to go to Israel for treatment. All expenses were covered by her brother Fedor. Well, after that they were already waiting for Alena in Spain.
“For a month after chemotherapy, she lived in my husband and I’s house in Salou,” Rijsmandel continues. “My husband is also a doctor and we were both sure that everything would end well. And Alena will definitely overcome the disease... Her passing came as a surprise to us. We were so close during life that even after her death our spiritual connection did not break. I constantly dream about my friend, I talk to her in my mind every day.

According to Victoria, after Bondarchuk’s death, she met her last husband, Yevgeny Morozov, in Moscow.
“Alena’s mother, Irina Konstantinovna, didn’t like Zhenya and, of course, didn’t want me to communicate with him, but he himself really insisted on meeting,” the interlocutor continues. “As a result, I gave up and made contact, realizing that with the help of my spiritual connection with Alena I could tell her what had happened recently. I realized that Morozov is suffering more than anyone right now. It is he who blames himself for Alena’s death. That he offended her. And it may well be that their quarrels and scandals led to a terrible illness. It turned out that Zhenya still loves Alena to this day, although he is already married again and has children. He thinks about her all the time, goes to her grave, writes about her in his diaries, lives in her memory. This was a discovery for me, which is why I’m talking about it now and will try (I’m not sure it will work) to convey this idea to Irina Konstantinovna, so that on the eve of her upcoming 90th birthday she will find the strength to forgive Zhenya.
Theater
The artist's first creative team was the St. Petersburg theater "Comedian's Shelter", on the stage of which Pavel made his debut in the play "Cyrano de Bergerac". It was followed by no less interesting productions, among which the brightest are “The Summer We Never Saw” and “Shopping & F*king.”
Since 2011, Chinarev has been collaborating with another St. Petersburg theater, which is distinguished by the modern intellectual nature of its productions - the Post Theater. The audience saw the artist in the experimental plays Shoot/Get Treasure/Repeat and “Locked Door,” staged by the talented director Dmitry Volkostrelov.

Another joint avant-garde-intellectual “product” of Chinarev and Volkostrelov is the play-performance “Soldier”. The production premiered on the stage of the Moscow Theater.doc and received rave reviews from sophisticated theatergoers and critics.
Pavel Chinarev appeared in the plays of another fashionable director, Konstantin Bogomolov. The director involved the St. Petersburg actor in the productions “An Ideal Husband” and “The Karamazovs,” which were staged on the stage of the capital’s Moscow Art Theater.
Later, at the Theater of Nations, Chinarev appeared in the plays “Gargantua and Pantagruel” and “The Idiot”.
Movies
Chinarev’s cinematic biography, like most of his colleagues, begins with episodes in TV series. Thanks to his athletic physical shape (with a height of 186 cm, the artist’s weight reaches 70 kg), Pavel made his debut in the top-rated crime series “Opera: Chronicles of the Homicide Department,” “Liteiny, 4,” and “Tula Tokarev.”
Star roles came to Pavel in 2020 and 2020. The first film to be released was “The Rag Union” by Mikhail Mestetsky. As the director later shared, in Chinarev he found an artist who was perfect for the main role - a kind of “jock-intellectual”. For this job, Pavel had to learn to play the button accordion and master parkour, which he did very well.
The second film is the thriller “The Route is Built” directed by Oleg Asadulin. This is one of the few modern Russian horror films. Pavel was again entrusted with playing the main character. Svetlana Ustinova appeared in tandem with him.

In 2003, no one could have imagined that a few years later the biography of Alena Bondarchuk would be overshadowed by death, the cause of which would turn out to be cancer. But more on that later. In 2003, the actress also began collaborating with the private theater Empire of Stars. She managed to play completely diverse roles in two performances. Thus, in the play “Oscar” she successfully played the role of Madame Barnier, and in the theatrical production of “A Streetcar Named Desires” she played the role of Blanche Dubois.
