At the same time, the DPR fighter expressed hope that, after all, the actor’s death was just a rumor. “Let him live. Just let him live at home. If he dies, there is no joy,” Prilepin concluded.

The announcement of the actor’s death was commented on by his director Yulia Pavlova. According to her, she does not know whether Pashinin really died, REN TV reports.

Having learned about this, Pashinin’s colleague in the acting workshop, Mikhail Porechenkov, warned him: “Maybe we will meet again, it’s just that, as I said, we will be on different sides of the barricades. But we have a good memory and a lot of health. He will learn something in their ranks - let's unlearn!" In turn, writer Zakhar Prilepin strongly recommended Pashinin to avoid meeting with him, especially in battle. “I don’t know Pashinin, but this is his personal choice. I would sincerely recommend that he not meet with my unit in battle,” he said.

“I’m not doing my duty here; being with these nice guys, I get a kick out of it. Independence is here."

Pashinin shared his impressions of everything that was happening, and also said that his new friends knew him under the name “Understudy,” which he borrowed from his brother, who also served here.

Another Ukrainian soldier, who also has his own call sign – “Quiet”, told reporters about the genuine courage of Anatoly Pashinin: “Brother for brother, tooth for tooth, eye for an eye. He’s a brother, he proved it in battle!”

Let us remember that he played in such wonderful films as “We are from the future”, “Storm Gate”, “Escape”. In addition, Anatoly Pashinin took part in Dancing with the Stars in 2012.

A source in the leadership of the security forces of the Donetsk People's Republic confirmed the death of Pashinin, reports Reedus' own correspondent in the DPR.

A little later, she noted on her Facebook page that journalists had already “killed” Pashinin twice, but the third time the reports of his death apparently turned out to be accurate.

Previously, writer Zakhar Prilepin spoke about the alleged death of the actor.

In August, information appeared that Russian actor Anatoly Pashinin had been fighting in the Donbass for a month in the ranks of the Ukrainian Volunteer Army. “I’m not fulfilling my duty here, being with these nice guys, I get a thrill,” Pashinin in an interview with Ukrainian media. The artist said that he took the call sign Understudy.

When the writer and major of the DPR armed forces Zakhar Prilepin, who was located on another front line, learned about this, Pashinin did not meet his unit in battle.

Anatoly Pashinin was born on September 15, 1978 in the city of Svetlovodsk in Ukraine. After school, I entered the Zaporozhye State Engineering Academy at two faculties - metallurgy and environmental protection and economics.

As a fifth-year student, he went to Moscow, where he graduated from the M. S. Shchepkin Higher Theater School.

In 2001 he began acting in films. The artist has more than 20 roles in films and TV series. Pashinin became widely known after playing the role of Senior Lieutenant Doronin in the four-part television film “Storm Gates,” which was released in 2006.

Why does Ukraine need a martyr who fought “high”?

Actor Anatoly Pashinin, who has been buried by both Russian and Ukrainian media for the second day, confirmed that he is alive. The writer Zakhar Prilepin stated with reference to other publications about the death of the actor, who fought in Donbass on the side of the Ukrainian Armed Forces: “They write that actor Pashinin was killed as a result of shelling. Anyone who starts gloating will be banned. Possibly misleading." Ukrainian media began disseminating information on September 6.

Prilepin clarified that “it was definitely not us who fired, the authorities didn’t order it.” Later, the mother of the actor of the films “Admiral” and “We are from the Future” stated that her son was alive and did not die during shelling in the Donbass. The battalion commander with the call sign “Cherven” also confirmed that Pashinin was alive.

On Friday, the actor himself got in touch, telling the Ukrainian publication that “I did not have an order from the command to die.”

As MK found out, the media on Square are burying the actor for the second time. The first time rumors about his death appeared on August 26. Some Internet portals even provided details of the death: “As a result of shelling of a rear post with a 120 mm shrapnel. mortar, Pashinin received numerous injuries incompatible with life.” But at that moment there was no reaction other than sympathy or slander from Internet users.

This time, too, when they heard about the actor’s second death, users were outraged: “He was already killed two weeks ago. It's fake, it seems to me."

Why do Ukrainian publications so want to quickly kill a Russian actor who went to fight in Donbass, and from Kyiv’s side?

It seems to me that the media were not lobbying for the topic of his death, but were spinning up another negative message about those who were allegedly involved in his death,” he noted Doctor of Historical Sciences, political scientist Alexander Kobrinsky. - Naturally, this means both Russia and the militias. And it doesn’t matter to Ukrainian publications whether he is alive or not, there will still be a residue. There are a huge number of people who feed on disposable information. Today a man saw that an actor was killed: “These are scoundrels!” And the reader will no longer know that the actor is alive. And if he finds out, he won’t care anymore, because his psychological opinion has been formed. As for Pashinin’s moral qualities, they raise certain questions in me. If I were our media, I would completely forget about this man. Our directors, our producers made him famous. What does he do in gratitude? He is going to kill his relatives and relatives. Why promote it at all? He himself says that he is not an ideological fighter, he gets high from the war. This is already a medical topic.

In fact, it would be beneficial for the Ukrainian media to make a martyr out of a young, handsome guy - in the event of his death. Although the actor himself did say that he gets a thrill from the war in Donbass: “I’m not doing my duty here, being with these nice guys, I get a kick.” Let us remember that he went to fight this summer, becoming a fighter in the eighth battalion of the Ukrainian Volunteer Army.
