Biography

Pavel Tabakov was born on 1 August 1995 in a family of actors Oleg Tabakov (1935–2018) and Marina Zudina (born 1965). He has a younger sister, Maria (born 2006), an older half-brother from his father, Anton Tabakov (born 1960), a restaurateur, and a half-sister, Alexandra (born 1966).

He made his stage debut at the age of 12 in 2008, playing Vincent in the play The Moon Monster at the Moscow Art Theatre. In his childhood, Pavel was more interested in entrepreneurship than acting. After completing 9th grade, he informed his parents that he planned to enroll in his father's theatre school.[5]

In 2011, he entered the Oleg Tabakov Theatre School. During his studies, he lived in a dormitory for students.[6]

After graduation in 2015, he joined the Moscow Theatre of Oleg Tabakov troupe and the Moscow Art Theatre troupe.[7]

He made his film debut in 2014 in the drama Star, playing a 15-year-old schoolboy. Since then, he has appeared in multiple films and TV series. He is widely known for playing Pavel I in the historical television series Ekaterina. Rise.

Since 2017, he has been studying part-time at the producing department of GITIS.[8]

In September 2018, he resigned from the Moscow Art Theatre under the new artistic director Vladimir Mashkov.[9] He then focused on his film career.[10] In 2020, following the reorganization of the Moscow Art Theatre and the closure of the trainees’ group, he became part of the main troupe.
