Childhood and youth
Pavel and his brother Alexander, a popular director, were born in Moscow into a family of energy engineers. The artist’s biography is unknown in detail. For example, there is no exact answer to the question of his nationality. From the outside it seems that Pavel’s choice of profession was influenced by his brother, but Barshak Jr. says that this is not entirely true.

Pavel Barshak in his youth
At an experimental Spanish school, he studied with Anna Slyu, whose father taught acting. And Sasha first entered the Moscow Power Engineering Institute and only from the 3rd year went to the Moscow Art Theater School. Looking at him, Pavel went to RATI and is now very proud to be a student of Pyotr Fomenko.
In his free time from studying, the young man played in the punk rock band “Grenki”, in which his best friend Evgeny Tsyganov was the lead singer. After graduating from university, Barshak ended up in the “Pyotr Fomenko Workshop”. Here the young actor worked for several years until he was asked to leave due to a missed performance. Theater is still present in the artist’s life in the form of an enterprise. For example, Pavel also participated in Alexander Abdulov’s production of “Family Idyll.”
Theater
In 2001, after graduating from the directing department, Pavel Barshak was enrolled in the troupe of the capital’s theater “Pyotr Fomenko Workshop”. Here the young actor worked for several years, playing many interesting roles. Barshak’s most memorable works on the theater stage were his roles in the plays “The Madwoman of Chaillot”, “The House Where Hearts Break” and “Egyptian Nights”.

In addition, the actor participated in the enterprise production of Alexander Abdulov called “Family Idyll.” By the way, many viewers find external similarities between the actors.
Pavel Barshak did not give up his work in the theater even when he gained popularity in cinema. He values his theatrical roles and the “live” energy that he exchanges with the audience when he goes on stage.
The artist can still be seen on the theater stage today. But unlike the cinema, where Pavel Barshak most often plays heroic lovers, in the theater he gets diverse roles.
Movies
Alexei Uchitel’s melodrama “Walk” made the actor recognizable. He starred in the title role along with classmates Irina Pegova and Evgeny Tsyganov. The series “Soldiers” and “Kamenskaya” did not bypass Barshak, and Pavel, oddly enough, considers the crime drama “The Game” to be a one-day project. The only plus is that the young man finally appeared in the guise of an anti-hero.
