Childhood and adolescence of the shocking and scandalous Pakhom
Sergey Pakhomov is a Muscovite. He was born in early November 1966. Only his mother was engaged in raising the boy, the father left the family when the son was still young. Pakhom claims that it was after his father left the family that prophetic visions began to visit him.
Mom, deciding to distract her son, sent him to a music school for a violin course, but he categorically refused to attend classes a few months later. Sergei saw a "sign" in the fact that one day, having slipped, his mother fell on the instrument.
Nevertheless, music was present in the boy's life. He taught himself to play the guitar. In addition, he studied drawing at the capital's Krasnopresnensk art school, after graduating from it, he entered the art-industrial school. The teachers noted that the young man is very talented in the areas of icon painting and Russian painting technique of drawing.
Sergei aspired to serve in the army, but instead of the war in Afghanistan, where he asked to be sent, he ended up in a psychiatric clinic. And Pakhom took this as a "sign".

Pakhom's methods of work were productive, but somewhat strange - his ritual dances were not impressive, but frightened. He also frightened him with his behavior - Pakhom could use foul language right in the frame, he was in conflict with the participants in the show and with the members of the film crew, he was practically uncontrollable. Sergei Pakhomov decided to leave the "Battle of Psychics" himself. He offered his candidacy "to fly out" instead of other contestants.

Personal life of Sergei Pakhomov
On a personal level, this shocking character has the same absurdity as in his work. Now he claims that he is not married, then he suddenly "appears" a wife and two children who "turn" into an adopted son named Ivan.
During the period of Pakhom's work in the editorial office of Elle magazine, rumors appeared in the press about his romantic relationship with the former editor-in-chief of the publication, Elena Tokareva. She herself later refuted these speculations, assured that she had returned to her ex-husband, Gelbstein Lev.
During the filming of The Last Hero, Pakhom reiterated that he was married, his wife was seriously ill and he needed to return home. His fellow tribesmen did not believe these words, but the organizers of the show considered it possible to let the participant go home “out of turn” without checking the information.
There is still no reliable information about whether Sergey Pakhomov is married, whether he has children and how many of them. Pakhom himself either tells a new story from his personal life, or refuses to answer such questions altogether.
