2002. The terrible 90s were left behind, but everyone remembered the mess well,

shootouts and street wars. As it usually happens, over time, the fear was forgotten, but the thieves' romance remained. It was at this transitional moment that the saga of ordinary boys, from one yard, appeared. The film "Brigade" became a hit after the first series. The whole country with bated breath followed the ups and downs taking place on the screen, many recognized themselves and their loved ones. It was the simplicity of the plot and the well-chosen cast that made this film epoch-making. The yard boys immediately began to call themselves "teams" and enthusiastically retell their favorite moments to each other. Then the little-known Pavel Maikov was invited to his first major film role.

Brigade

In the Mytishchi ordinary boy, many recognized themselves and their childhood. It was

the same person from the people: his own, dear, and thereforeDarling. Pavel Maykov was born in the Moscow region and as a child did not even think about the career of an actor. The mother of our hero came from the family of the famous Russian poet Apollo Maykov. She raised her son alone, as she divorced Pavel's father shortly after his birth. Much later, she tied her fate with resuscitator Alexander Stotsky. This was the second marriage. This is how the sister of Pavel Maykov, the future famous musical star Anastasia Stotskaya, was born.

Childhood

From childhood, Pavel was an active child, he loved sports, especially boxing. Therefore, his music lessons in the piano and violin class oppressed the boy. He made great strides in sports and was actively involved in freestyle wrestling, but at the age of 14 something changed in Paul's worldview, and he firmly decided to enter the theater institute. At school, he was a ringleader, already in childhood he had charisma, which allowed him to always be in the center of attention of his classmates. In the place where he appeared, there was always a perky laugh.

Life in Moscow

The parents approved the son's decision, and at the family council it was decided that his mother would go to Moscow with him, and Pavel Maikov's sister would stay with her father for a while. The admission committee did not immediately appreciate the boy's artistic abilities, and it took him three whole years to prove his mature desire to become an artist.

For some reason, it seemed to the teachers that he would make a good make-up artist or illuminator, but Pavel stood his ground and stubbornly walked towards his goal. Three years of life in Moscow taughta lot of things for our hero, he constantly worked somewhere, watched the big city and more and more often assured himself that it was not in vain that he decided to connect his fate with him.

First steps

And finally, 1994, a happy year for Pavel, came. His efforts were crowned with success: he is a student of GITIS. The guy became more mature, learned to understand people. As a student, he began touring. Very often he traveled with the puppet theater around the country, participated in children's performances and, finally, made his film debut. True, only in the crowd, but at Mikhalkov himself in the "Barber of Siberia".

Student years passed quickly, and now Pavel is a graduate. He is invited to work at the Sphere Theater, where he gets a role in his favorite musical since childhood, West Side Story. This is how the actor Pavel Maikov appeared, whose biography will soon be replenished with unforgettable moments and facts.

And after some time, when he was invited to the musical "Metro" for a minor role, he showed his acting gift so much that a month before the premiere he was transferred to the main role. This performance brought him great success, and they started talking about Maykov as a very promising young man. Since then, he has become in demand, and one role has replaced another. Soon came the turning point in the actor's career in 2002, when director Sidorov conceived the epic saga "Brigada". This first leading role in a movie became a life-changing one, overnight making the Fab Four national idols.

First Glory

Director Sidorov perfectly chose the cast, whereeach image harmoniously fit into the script and forever imprinted in the mind of the viewer. The history of the bad guys was fascinating in its simplicity, because it was the fate of a whole generation. The director, after approving the actors for the roles, gathered the entire cast and went with them to the Cinema Veterans House, where the film crew began to get used to the characters, to get used to each other.

Cinema nicknames are still stuck to them so much that sometimes in conversation they respond to the nicknames of their characters. And this is not surprising. After all, so much effort and time was spent on creating this masterpiece.

"Huge" fee

When Pavel Maykov received his first "cine" fee of $3,000, he felt like a millionaire. Still, such money! Remembering those times now, the actor smiles sadly and says that those first large fees seemed unrealistically large, made it possible to feel like a highly paid screen star. Now, of course, this ridiculous amount would not inspire even a novice extra. But in those years, things were different. The "star disease" of the magnificent four has long been ill. Actors remember this time with a smile. Filming at that stage brought all four together, but later each of them went his own way. They crossed paths less and less, Maikov's friendship remained only with Vdovichenko, with whom he often sees outside of his professional activities.

Becoming an actor

How was it? Actor Pavel Maikov has established himself as a verysober and creative person. And as he himself says, he could turn off the intended acting path, start singing chanson and gather stadiums all over Russia, participate in top television programs, talk about his personal life and communicate with people who are unpleasant to him. He gave up all this tinsel in the name of his dream of becoming an actor with a capital A. Our hero is very picky about his sister's career, believing that her vocation is the stage, and she wastes time on roles in third-rate films. Pavel Maykov himself, whose filmography is replete with a large number of roles, takes the scripts offered to him very seriously and thinks for a long time before giving his consent to participate in a particular project.

Private life

The actor is not one of those celebrities who expose their personal lives to the public.

Pavel Maykov, whose biography is like a roller coaster, does not like to talk about his heart affairs. There were many things in his life. Behind three marriages, and the actor often, rethinking his actions in his youth, understands that no one is immune from mistakes. When he married the best friend of his second wife, Maria Saffo (besides, she was the godmother of his son), he gave gossip to the entire Moscow show business. His marriage by that time had completely outlived its usefulness, and the couple remained together because of the child. However, Pavel decided not to hide and honestly admit that it was impossible to live like this any longer. He went to Maria Saffo. The personal life of Pavel Maikov instantly became publictabloid tabloids.

Third marriage

There are many contradictory and ambiguous moments in the history of the couple, because when they met, both were not free.

Masha was in a civil marriage with Pavel's friend, director Mikhail Gorev, at whose performance the couple met. In addition to the moral side of the matter, nature intervened and decided not to give the couple children in this marriage - they turned out to be immunologically incompatible.

The ex-wife of Pavel Maikov, Ekaterina Maslovskaya, could not come to terms with the offense and still cannot forgive her husband for leaving the family. She in every possible way prevents his meetings with his son Danya and speaks very impartially about his current wife Maria. Masha believes that she did not take Maikov away from the family. She says that it is impossible to beat off a man who has a strong marriage and a beloved wife. Everything happened the way it should have happened. Pavel suffers greatly because of separation from his son, he would like to spend more time with him and participate in his upbringing. After all, the child is not to blame for the intricacies of adult life, he needs a father.

Pavel Maikov: movies

In addition to the sensational "Brigade" and the episodic role, which we have already mentioned, the actor has something else to please his audience. You can see him playing in the adventure film Gloria's Gold. Fans of the comedy genre can watch a tape called "Bonecutter". Pavel also starred in crime films: “A landing is a landing”, “The Way Home”, “Under Mysterious Circumstances”, etc. Many viewers watch tapes with his participation,especially the Brigade, not even once.

Director's career

Pavel Maykov, despite his growing popularity and a huge number of roles, over the years began to act less and more and more to go to the theater. Here he was able to fulfill an old dream and put on several performances, which were received by critics with a bang. Having overcome many difficulties, various stages of a spiritual crisis, he was able to completely immerse himself in work and choose activities to his liking. In relation to many stars of show business, irony and sometimes rejection slip through his judgments, he himself says that he has changed since the days of the Brigade, learned to distinguish external tinsel from the main life values and became very withdrawn. He hates to work for the public and participate in the social life of the capital, it is better to spend this time on self-knowledge. To give oneself completely and completely to art, to receive satisfaction from one's activity - our hero strives for this.

The theater has always been his true calling, and when he was finally able to make his debut as a director in the performances of "On the Raft" and "Two Rooms", all the actor's talent was revealed with full force. This experience inspired our hero so much that he conceived a big cinematic project in which he wants to gather the veterans of the "Brigade", while leaving the role of the director of this film. He has many creative plans and hopes. It can be said with all responsibility that he is a favorite of the public. Everyone is sure: Pavel Maykov, whose filmography is calculated in diverse images, has not yet playedhis main role.
