Director Biography
Roman Romanovich Kachanov was born on January 17, 1967 in the Soviet Union, in the Kuntsevsky district of Moscow, in an ordinary family of Soviet citizens. The boy's father, Roman Abalevich Kachanov, was engaged in directing and was one of the founders of puppet animation. Mom, bearing an amazing name - Gara, worked as an economist in the engineering bureau.
From childhood, little Roman grew up a mischievous little boy, and, having matured, he began to bully with yard boys and often ran away from home. In secondary school, Roman studied poorly. At the age of 14, having somehow graduated from the eight-year-old, the wayward guy went to work. First, he worked at the post office as a newspaper deliveryman, and then he shut up with the assistant to the famous Soviet writer and science fiction writer Igor Vsevolodovich Mozheiko, better known under the pseudonym Kir Bulychev. He then thought of Kachanov to graduate from evening school and go to directing courses.
