Films with actor Pavel Ustinov

So far, the filmography is small, but, hopefully, everything is still ahead. Immediately after completing his studies, the guy began to actively look for work and managed to appear in episodic roles in such works:

• the film “Attraction” directed by Fyodor Bondarchuk (2017);
• Russian TV series “Morozova” (episode 36, 2018).

Then Pavel was called to serve in the National Guard. Returning home, he set to work. In April 2020, viewers will see the films “Trader” and “Satellite” on the screens, in which the actor plays the roles of an American soldier and an escort, respectively.

How was Pavel Ustinov arrested?

On August 3, 2019, Ustinov stood at the metro station on Pushkinskaya Square and waited for a friend. They arranged a meeting to discuss a possible side job. Pasha stood in headphones and flipped through the pages of sites on his phone. According to the guy, he had no idea about the rally that was taking place and thought: “maybe what kind of concert.” Suddenly he was tied up, thrown to the ground, and four employees of the Russian Guard began to beat him with batons. After that, the guy was forced into the bus.

Pavel was detained allegedly for anti-political outcry. On September 16, 2019, the Tverskoy Court issued a verdict. The person involved in the “Moscow case” was dumbfounded by the decision: 3.5 years in a penal colony for allegedly dislocating the shoulder of OMON officer Alexander Lyagin while resisting during detention. Although the prosecutor’s office asked to give 6 years. Ustinov pleaded not guilty.

Pavel Ustinov now

Friends, colleagues and relatives of the actor do not understand why an innocent person was detained. Considering the fact that he was never interested in politics, the arrest seems strange and even shocking. The relatives of the detainee and the lawyer said they intend to seek an appeal in court and a review of the case.

Well-known personalities of the Russian Federation, such as Sergey Lazarev, Ksenia Sobchak, Sergey Shnurov, Lisa Boyarskaya, Maxim Galkin, Kristina Asmus, quickly took the side of the promising 24-year-old actor. They demand the release of Pavel, supported the support action on social networks under the hashtag “#freedompavluustinov”. Posts on social networks are published under the heading “I/We Pavel Ustinov”.

Some stars of Russian show business shoot videos with a call to restore justice and post them on YouTube. In particular, the People’s Artist of the Russian Federation Konstantin Raikin, in his video message, urged “not to break a person’s life and destiny.” He knows Pavel well, because he was one of his teachers. Raikin is convinced that Ustinov is not guilty of anything.

On the Internet, you can find and watch a video of the moment Ustinov was detained. And Instagram is replete with video messages of stars calling for justice. Many users support the activity of celebrities, leave angry comments about the state. People accuse the government and Russian courts of unprofessionalism and venality.

The resonant case instantly spread throughout the country. Even the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov reacted to the incident. He stated that the authorities would not comment on the court’s decision or interfere in the trial. He also added that he was convinced that this event would not affect the attitude of citizens towards the law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation. This statement again caused a storm of criticism from ordinary observers. People are offended by this attitude.

Widespread publicity and public outcry had an effect. On September 20, 2019, information appeared that Pavel was released on bail. The prosecutor’s office is going to petition to change the punishment for the actor to a measure that is not related to isolation from society.

Fans of the young actor have to continue to follow the news in the media and social networks.

Interestingly, the story of Pavel partially coincided with the campaign of the shaman Gabyshev to Moscow and his detention.
