Pavel Petrovich Kadochnikov (Russian: ) (16 July [O.S. 29 July] 1915
2 May 1988) was a Soviet actor, film director and screenwriter. Among
other notable roles he played in the film Ivan the Terrible, directed
by Sergei Eisenstein. He received the Stalin Prize three times (1948,
1949, 1951), was named a People's Artist of the USSR (1979) and a Hero
of Socialist Labour (1985).Pavel Kadochnikov was born in Petrograd in
1915. In 1927, he entered a children's artistic studio, dreaming to
become professional artist. But because of the severe illness of his
father, Pavel, as the elder in the family, was forced to become the
apprentice to a metal craftsman. However, he continued to study in the
studio. In 1929, he entered the actor's department of theatrical
school of TYuZ. In 1935, he graduated from Leningrad Theatrical
Institute and until 1944 was an actor in Leningrad's New TYuZ.He began
to act in the cinema in 1935. His first role was Mikhas in the film
Maturity. Kadochnikov was not pleased the way he looked on the screen
in his early roles, and he decided to never play in the cinema again.
He did not stand by this decision. In 1937, he accepted Sergei
Yutkevich's invitation and appeared in a minor role in the film The
Man with the Gun. In many plays he performed several roles; in one of
them he performed at once eight roles. In 1940, he played the roles of
worker Lenka Sukhov and writer Maxim Gorky in the film Yakov Sverdlov
directed by Sergei Yutkevich. In Ivan the Terrible by Sergei
Eisenstein he not only conducted the tragic line of the pretender
Vladimir of Staritsa, but also played two small roles (of Chaldean and
Yevstafy).His actor's range can be seen in his lyric roles (Anton
Ivanovich is angry, The tamer of tigers) and in the role of Major
Fedotov in the Secret Agent by Boris Barnet. The role of Major Fedotov
was a cult character of Soviet cinema which mixed the pathetics, manly
charm and irony. For the roles he took in the patriotic movies he won
the Stalin Prize (in 1948 for the Secret Agent, in 1949 for the role
of Alexey Maresyev in the Tale of a True Man, in 1951 for the role of
Kovshov in the film Far from Moscow). Time and again actor appeared in
the role of Maxim Gorky. From the 1960s onwards, he began to move away
from patriotic roles.
