Having made his debut as a film actor in 2001 with the film "The Lion's Lot", Anatoly Anatolyevich Pashinin today is better known not as an outstanding artist, behind whom there are about forty film works and even one production project "On the Roof of the World" (2008), but still as a tireless critic of Russian nationality policy and a volunteer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine since 2017.
Russian and Ukrainian theater and film actor - Anatoly Pashinin, being a native of Ukraine (Kirovograd region, Svetlovodsk), was remembered by the mass audience for his characters in the popular films "Provincials" (2002), "Thunderstorm Gates" (2006), "On the roof of the world”(2008),“Admiral”(2008),“Escape”(2010),“MUR”(2011),“Love for a Million”(2013) and others. Since 2014, she has been permanently living in Zaporozhye with her parents and is actively involved in anti-Russian political activities, violently criticizing the President of the Russian Federation.
Biography and career of Anatoly Anatolyevich Pashinin
On September 15, 1978, the future actor and anti-Russian activist was born into the family of a serviceman (father is a naval sailor and mother is a dentist). It would seem that Anatoly was prepared for a dynastic attachment to the military profession, because in addition to his father, even his paternal grandfather served in the same aviation regiment with the legendary fighter pilot Ivan Kozhedub, and his older brother Konstantin is still a member of the Ukrainian Air Force. However, his fate only in 2017 prepared for him a place among the volunteers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, having made an incredible turn before that time towards the acting profession.
Tolya spent his childhood in Vladivostok, where his father served. And later the family moved to Zaporozhye, where his parents still live. After graduating from high school here, Pashinin subsequently did not like to remember this time of his life, speaking about him exclusively in negative tones. For example, “It’s impossible to remember this city with a kind word” - the actor's characteristic thematic quote very eloquently expresses his opinion on this matter.
It is known that during his school years he was most interested in sports. Boxing and karate became his real hobbies, and in the latter he was especially successful, having received a brown belt. And then there was the Zaporozhye State Engineering Academy, in which he graduated from two faculties at once: management and non-ferrous metals. In his university, Anatoly Pashinin suddenly discovered artistic talents in himself and became an active member of the student KVN team, taking with her in the fifth year the Cup of KVN Champions of Ukraine.
After that, Pashinin firmly decided to develop in this direction and went to conquer Moscow, enrolling in the Shchepkin Higher Theater School. Some unpleasant story happened here with expulsion from the last year, which was somehow “hushed up” with a sin in half, after all, having given him the coveted diploma.
Having made his debut in cinema since 2001 with a cameo role in the film "The Lion's Lot", Pashinin already next year gets the main role in the melodrama "Provincials" (character - boxer Pavel Novikov). And then his filmography is rapidly replenished with many film works, among which the most significant can be considered the following: "Firefighters", "Instructor", "All Inclusive", "Stolen Happiness", "Thunderstorm Gates", "Don't Even Think!", "Admiral", “On the Roof of the World”, “We are from the Future”, “Men's Work-2”, “Night Swallows”, “MUR”, “When the Snow Melted”, “Escape”, “Love for a Million”.
The actor's latest film projects include the Ukrainian sports drama "The Rule of Fight" (2016) and the Ukrainian film "Post-Traumatic Rhapsody" (2017).
Now Pashinin is a fighter of the 8th battalion of the Ukrainian Volunteer Army and often makes loud anti-Russian statements, completely negating his connection with the country, which gave him not only fame, but also material well-being, which he repeatedly put in first place when commenting on his creative projects.
Personal life of the actor
Anatoly Anatolyevich Pashinin has no family or children. Apparently, his clear position on personal life, which excludes serious relationships and the birth of offspring, will lead him to a lonely old age.
His comments on romantic relationships with colleagues in the creative workshop, who are gender antipodes, clearly indicate that he is quite cynical about the institution of the family. Here is one of his phrases in this regard: “Women actresses are all wonderful. They should be grateful to me that I do not give an interview to the magazine "Caravan of stories". I am delighted".
