Biography of Pavel Maikov
Pavel Sergeevich Maykov is a Russian artist, TV presenter, director, singer and musician, brother (on his mother’s side) of singer Anastasia Stotskaya, star of the legendary TV series “Brigada”.
The actor, a descendant of the noble noble family of the Maykovs, stated in an interview that he does not accept half-truths and falsehoods. Having discovered their presence in the Russian film community, he did not appear on screen as often as his partners in the cult television series - Sergei Bezrukov, Vladimir Vdovichenkov and Dmitry Dyuzhev.
Pavel Maikov
However, having become disillusioned with cinema as the most important form of art, the artist continues to actively realize his creative potential. He performs with a musical group, releases albums, works as a TV presenter, plays on the theater stage, stages plays, writes songs and scripts, adhering to universal values and remaining faithful to the truth.
Childhood of Pavel Maykov
The artist was born on October 15, 1975 in Mytishchi and became the first-born in the family of an artist mother and a driver father (now deceased). When my son was 5 years old, his family separated, and he and his mother moved to Kyiv. He spent his childhood and school years there.
Pavel Maikov in childhood
To keep her son from hanging out on the street, his mother initiated his activities in sports and music. He practiced freestyle wrestling and played the violin. But, not wanting to walk down the street with an instrument and look like a “nerd,” he later changed it to a piano.
Pavlik was an active participant in amateur performances, an avid KVN player and the lead singer of a musical group. He loved history and literature, read a lot, but hated the exact sciences.
At about 12 years old, the teenager realized that the stage was his true calling and decided to become an artist. He enthusiastically and enthusiastically dreamed of his future profession, collecting the magazine “Soviet Screen” with photographs of his idols.
Relatives supported their son's intentions. In 1992, when he graduated from school, the whole family moved again to Mytishchi, rightly judging that the best theater universities in the country are located in the capital.
Young Pavel Maikov
Pavel managed to enter GITIS, but on the third attempt. Having failed the exam in the first year, he did not give up, but showed perseverance and worked hard on himself. He worked part-time in the market, was a courier, and at the same time took preparatory courses and played on the stage of the Zerkalo theater studio.
Cover design
Most homeowners, when choosing tiles for their bathroom, first of all pay attention to its design. Professionals recommend that you first decide on the manufacturer and your repair budget, and then select a specific collection of coatings.
Each collection has several models that differ in the following criteria:
• texture;
• drawing;
• color.
Designer renovations often use a combination of several color schemes from different collections. However, it is extremely difficult for an ordinary homeowner to combine such tiles of different colors and styles, so experts still recommend choosing one main shade in which the entire bathroom or toilet will be decorated.
You also need to remember about the permissible number of colors in the bathroom decoration. It is believed that if a combination of three or more shades is chosen, this will visually overload the room, introducing dissonance into the overall design style. Therefore, you should choose one or two shades of sanitary ware, tiles and furniture that should be combined with each other.
The following color options are popular:
• Green is a classic solution for the bathroom; this color invigorates in the morning, putting you in a positive mood.
• Blue creates a solid, classic interior, but caring for such tiles is problematic, since even minor dirt is visible on it.
• Red and its shades are stimulating, but this color is only suitable for large bathrooms.
• Plain lilac is a great option for a bathroom in a girl’s apartment. If you combine it with blue or red, then this is an excellent choice for a bathroom in a large family.

At first, Pavel was cast in a minor role, but before the premiere, he was cast in the main role of a musician.
The performance, made in accordance with all the world's laws of the genre, allowed him to develop the artist's natural gift, brought him recognition and an invitation to the Mossovet Theater.

Further work of Pavel Maykov
The artist won nationwide love and fame in 2002 after the release of the domestic gangster saga “The Brigade”. In it he played one of the central characters, a bandit nicknamed “Bee”. He was accompanied by Sergei Bezrukov, Dmitry Dyuzhev and Vladimir Vdovichenkov.
Later, in 2012, the actor noted that the fee of 3 thousand dollars received for the series was then perceived by him as incredible luck and a miracle, but on the day of the interview he was already earning the same amount per day.
After the “Brigade”, Maikov became a sought-after artist. He starred in many projects - “Cadets”, “Soldiers”, “Master”, “Unofficial Assignment”, “Alibi for Two” and others.
The TV series “Brigade” made Pavel Maykov famous
In 2005, he left the theater, focusing on his film career, and tried himself as a TV presenter on NTV in the information and legal program “Main Road”.
Two years later, on the TV Center channel, he hosted a series of programs “Moscow Pros,” which revealed the professional secrets of a variety of professions. During the same period, the artist starred in a video clip for the musical composition of his half-sister, singer Anastasy Stotskaya, “Cool,” and in 2012, as a director, he shot a video for her for free in Kyiv for the song “Criminal.”
In 2008, in partnership with Sekirin (Stotskaya’s ex-husband), the artist created the musical group “7 percent”.
Personal life of Pavel Maykov
The artist is married for the second time to Maria Safo, the former common-law wife of Mikhail Gorevoy. He staged the play “Where Kolobok Ran” to her, where she played naked, and decided that his good friend Maykov would be her stage partner, and thereby personally initiated their romance.
Maria Saffo and Pavel Maikov
The actor’s first wife, Ekaterina Maslovskaya, whom he met while working on the musical “Metro” and married in 2001, was also friends with Maria. Moreover, Sappho was the godmother of her and Katya’s son Daniel.
Subsequently, both Masha’s ex-husband and the actor’s ex-wife found their true soul mates.
During his student years, there was another love in the artist’s life, Maryana, the great-niece of Boris Berezovsky. He lived with her for 3 years before meeting his first wife.
Pavel Maikov and Anastasia Stotskaya
Pavel admitted that he constantly has to fight excess weight. That's why he doesn't eat until two o'clock in the afternoon and after six in the evening, and goes to the gym three times a week.
Pavel Maikov: God does not give my wife and I children!
The actor admitted that his new marriage was fruitless. Pavel Maikov left the family - he married his son’s godmother and his wife’s best friend. And for the third year now he has been paying for his sin - his new marriage turned out to be childless.
... The friendship of the four ended in failure for both couples: crazy passion forced Paul and his beloved Maria Safo to leave their families and get married secretly. God punished them for their voluptuousness. All this time, Pasha and Masha tried to conceive a child - the fruit of their common love, but in vain. Doctors recently diagnosed the couple with immunological incompatibility. This means that Maria’s body rejects Maykov’s sperm. This pathology has put an end to the happiness of loving people. Pavel Maikov does not like to talk about personal drama, but especially for the readers of “Life” he decided to talk about the most intimate.
Faith
“Masha and I went to the doctor and were convinced that it was all just the case,” Pavel admitted. “My first son didn’t appear right away either. This took some effort and patience. In any case, He’s not a fool up there. This means he doesn’t want me to reproduce further. I've thought about this a lot. We all live here and now, but I think this is wrong. On our journey we need to think further. After all, this will end someday. We'll all end up in the cemetery eventually! I just returned from there - I buried my aunt. The earth knocks on the coffin, and I look at the nature around and understand that you cannot know what will happen to you tomorrow. But the fact that you will end up here in the cemetery is 100%. And at this moment I suddenly understand that I have to go my own way. No children means you don’t need children. You need to do what comes easy to you, and do it to your full potential. No need to bang your head against the wall.
– But medicine can do a lot now! There is, for example, artificial insemination.
- Yes I know. It happens that they conceive, and then a child is born, and he is unhappy. What will happen to this baby? The parents are happy, and he? This child should not have come to this earth - God did not let him here. Why doesn't anyone think about this? There is such a word - incompatibility. And they went and made a child artificially. And what happened? After all, no one truly believes. No one. Everyone believes only if it helps. Faith helps - that means I believe. If it doesn’t help, it means I don’t believe.
Error
– Pavel, how do you manage to maintain harmony in your relationships?
– Masha and I are like one person! And so it has been for three years. She's my only friend. She is the person who knows everything about me... We met five years ago. This is a story written by the classics, but I have a feeling that in our case we were the first to fall in love so much. If we suddenly have children, and then grandchildren, I will tell them how my grandparents “burned.” We do a lot of things, but we really like sex more than everyone else.
– For Masha’s sake, did you even leave your wife and child?
- Yes. The development of our relationship was quite dramatic, and for some, tragic. Our union with Masha took place according to the “two unfree people met” type. But I think it’s better to steal a friend’s wife than to secretly masturbate on her. And my ex-wife is a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. And so as not to take it out on her for the rest of my life, I preferred to simply leave the family. In this life you need to do what you want.
Motherland
– I heard that you became a director?
- Exactly! This summer involved three projects at the same time. Firstly, I staged the play “On the Raft” based on Slavomir Mrozhek’s play “On the High Seas”. There will be a premiere on September 14th. Then the audiobook “Zoshchenko’s 16 stories about Lenin” will be released. The third project will be an album of songs about Lenin.
– Why is so much attention paid to Lenin?
– In the 40th year of the last century, Zoshchenko wrote stories about Lenin for school-age children, but by writing absolutely opportunistic stories, he managed to make fun of some moments in the life of the great genius. I myself respect Lenin as a person. I can't truly hate him. I also cannot truly love. By the way, nothing has changed in this country. It only got worse because before there were more souls. So Gorbachev sold our Motherland to the Americans so they could hang out nicely. And now he is a professor and teaches at the university how to ruin a country.
– There was a rumor that you have Chernomyrdin in your family.
- God forbid! I came from an ordinary family. The singer Nastya Stotskaya and I have the same mother, and she is an artist. Grandma is also an artist. Nastya's dad is a doctor. My own dad has already died. He was the driver. All very decent people.
Slava - How do you feel about the national stage?
– Pugacheva used to be a very strong woman. But everything that we see on TV now has absolutely nothing to do with creativity, it’s just making money. This is “Musi-pusi” - what kind of creativity is there? I understood how to earn a living if something happened. I will write songs for this glamorous, pop trash, and extract money from them. Actors are all like plastic cups now. They are simply broken and thrown away. They all look the same, you can’t tell anyone apart. And everyone is stupid.
- Why?
- Because - how can you take money to a theater institute? Here I am, an artist. I did. For a long time. Then I studied for four years, wandering around theaters here and there. I struggled and struggled all the time, then I got lucky and the TV series “Brigada” came out. Oh oh oh! Bee, all that. Everyone loves and kisses my ass. And if I hadn’t acted, no one would have known me. And I'm a good artist. People now don't know how movies are made. The film is made by a producer. He selects the artists. The director is the same hired figure. Unless the director is a producer himself, like Tarantino, for example. But we are not in America. And it’s funny to compare us with Hollywood. American cinema is 100 years old. The Russian one is 20. And he has nothing to do with the Soviet one. Because Soviet cinema was an empire, like Hollywood. And Russian cinema is a sex shop in Holland.

– Why are you taking part in it?
- I want to eat. If I hadn’t studied, I would have gone to dig the ground, but my diploma says: “Theater and Film Artist.” I can't change this system. She's stronger than me. Therefore, in order not to go crazy, I enjoy doing my projects. After these projects I will stage another performance. And I will exist like this. So let this Russian cinema die, and I will stand on its grave and laugh!
