Pavel Petrovich Kadochnikov (Russian: Павел Петрович Кадочников) (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 Labor (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).
