Creative families are not uncommon in the Russian film industry. The Pavlenko dynasty (you can say that now) does not all work in the cinema, but the prospect is quite possible. And who knows what other films and performances with the participation of Dmitry, Natalya and Polina Pavlenko we will see.
And now a few explanations: Dmitry is the head of the family, Natalya is his wife, Polina is their daughter. Why a dynasty? Because Dmitry’s mother was a television director. So it turns out that one way or another their whole family is connected with creativity, with art.
As for Dmitry himself, the audience knows him well from the films ABC of Love, Nan love, St. John's Wort, etc.
Biography
Dmitry Pavlenko was born in Transbaikalia in 1971. When he was very young, his parents moved to Chita, and the childhood of the future actor passed in this city. The head of the family worked as a geologist, he often went on expeditions, and later taught at the university.
