been evacuated from Kiev with the start of the Great Patriotic War.
The family was Jewish. His father Yakov Lvovich Bardenshtein was a
naval officer who joined marines in 1941 and took part in the Battle
of Stalingrad. After the war the family moved to LiepÄ ja, Latvian SSR
where his father served at the Baltic Fleet.Garri spent three years in
the Soviet Army and in 1968 he finished the Actor's Faculty at the
Moscow Art Theatre School and joined the N. V. Gogol Moscow Drama
Theatre (modern-day Gogol Center) where he served till 1973. The
director asked him to shorten his surname which was too long for
theatre posters, and he adapted the Bardin stage name. Upon leaving
the theatre he spent some time writing stories, plays and TV
screenplays. He had been also voicing cartoons since 1967.Around the
same time he sent a screenplay to Soyuzmultfilm and was suggested to
direct the cartoon by himself despite the lack of education. From then
on he worked as an animation director. Among his first shorts was A
Tincan segment from the Happy Merry-Go-Round No. 8 anthology series
(1976). In 1979 he directed A Flying Ship, a traditionally animated
musical film loosely based on the old Russian fairy tale The Fool of
the World and the Flying Ship. The film and the songs by Yuri Entin in
particular gained popularity. Bardin then worked on several other
hand-drawn films along with Entin.
