Spartak Mishulin

Spartak Vasilyevich Mishulin (Russian: Спартак Васильевич Мишулин; 22 October 1926 – 17 July 2005) was a Soviet actor and People's Artist of the RSFSR.

He was best known for his roles as Sayid in White Sun of the Desert (1969) and the title character in the Soviet stage adaptation of the Swedish children's book series Karlsson-on-the-Roof (1971) at Moscow's famed Satire Theatre.

The name Spartak was given at the insistence of his maternal uncle, a well-known historian, Professor Alexander Vasilyevich Mishulin, who specialized in the War of Spartacus.

In 1937, Anna Mishulina was arrested as an enemy of the people and exiled to Tashkent, and Spartak remained in the care of his uncle Alexander Mishulin, who held the post of rector of the Academy of Social Sciences under the Central Committee of the Communist Party.

[1] The first episodes of the television series Pub "13 Chairs", in which he performed the role of Pan Director, brought wide popularity to the actor.

His popularity grew even more after performing the role of Tarakanov in the film Property of the Republic, as well as demonstrations on television of the plays of the Satire Theatre "Kid and Karlsson-on-the-Roof" and "Small Comedies of the Big House", but especially after the role of Sayid in the film Vladimir Motyl White Sun of the Desert.
