Spartak Vasilyevich Mishulin (Moscow, October 22, 1926 – Moscow, July 17, 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. Spartak Mishulin was born on October 22 in 1926 in Moscow. His mother, Anna Vasilievna Mishulina, was deputy to the People's Commissar of Industry and was a member of the party nomenclature. 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. The Mishulins' family lived in the center of Moscow on Nastasinsky Lane. Spartak from an early age was fascinated by the theater and dreamed of becoming an actor. 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. After the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War, the Mishulins' family found themselves in evacuation in Dzerzhinsk). In 1941, Spartak Mishulin entered the artillery school in Anzhero-Sudzhensk by mistake, he misunderstood its name which was a portmanteau word and thought that it was an acting school. After studying at the artillery school, he committed a misdemeanor for which he served a 1.5 year sentence. In the labor camp Spartak met his uncle's personal driver by chance, also a fellow convict. The driver was the head of the mill and took the young man as his subordinate water carrier. After a while he was caught bringing grain instead of water to the prisoners, thereby prolonging his term for another year and a half.
