== Biography ==
Chardynin was born Pyotr Ivanovich Krasavtsev on 10 February 1873 in [[Simbirsk]], [[Russian Empire]] (now [[Ulyanovsk]], Russia). In 1890, he was admitted to the Drama School of Moscow Philharmonic Society, where he studied under [[Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko]] from 1891. After graduating, he adopted stage name of Chardynin and started both acting and directing career in provincial Russian theatres in [[Belgorod]], [[Orekhovo-Zuevo]], [[Uralsk]] and [[Vologda]].<ref name="rollberg"/>

He first began experimenting with short films in 1907. In 1908, Chardynin joined the troupe at Vvedensky Narodny Dom in Moscow and, as a part of it, started his film acting career in ''A 16th Century Russian Wedding'' and ''[[Song About the Merchant Kalashnikov (film)|Song About the Merchant Kalashnikov]]''. In 1909, Chardynin debuted as a director with ''The Power of Darkness'' and soon become the principal director for [[Aleksandr Khanzhonkov]]'s film company. In 1916, however, facing the serious competition from [[Yevgeni Bauer]], he left the Khanzhonkov and, together with [[Vera Kholodnaya]] and several other leading actors, joined Dmitriy Kharitonov's studio in Odesa. There, Chardynin made several successful films including ''[[Be Silent, My Sorrow, Be Silent]]''. Being one of the most productive Russian filmmakers, he directed about 120 or 200 films by 1918, mainly specializing on literary adaptations.<ref name="rollberg"/>

From 1920 to 1923, Chardynin lived and worked in Italy, France, Germany and Latvia. In 1923, he returned to the [[USSR]] to work at [[Odesa Film Studio]], where he directed several costume dramas and epics about the history of Ukraine. During the early 1930s, Chardynin was banned from directing by Soviet authorities and died in 1934 from [[liver cancer]].<ref name="rollberg"/>

==Personal life==
One of Chardynin’s several marriages was to director [[Margarita Barskaia]] (Chardynina), who worked as an assistant director on eleven of his films in the 1920s.<ref name="rollberg"/>
