Biography

edit

Marat Basharov was born in Moscow to a working class Volga Tatar family. His ancestors come from Mishar villages in Krasnooktyabrsky District, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast.[2] After high school, Basharov was enrolled in Moscow State University, Faculty of Law. However, pursuing an acting career, he soon dropped out and went to the M.S. Schepkin Higher Theatre School instead.[3]

Marat has a daughter (born Sep 2004), named Ameli.[3] In October 2014, Basharov beat his second wife, Katherine Arkharova, and kicked her out of the apartment. Arkharova spent some time in a coma. Doctors diagnosed her with nose fracture, traumatic brain injury and bruising. Later, the actress was discharged from the hospital and moved out.[4] The couple divorced in 2015.[5] In 2017, the actor married his fan, Elizaveta Shevyrkova. Their son was born in 2016. On December 27, 2018, Shevyrkova was hospitalized with a nose injury that, as she reported, resulted from family abuse. The woman spoke about repeated battery by her husband and filed for divorce.[6]

Sanctions

In February 2023 Canada sanctioned Marat Basharov for being involved in Russian propaganda and spreading misinformation relating to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[7]
