Opinion of Contemporaries
“Among students, Pavel Alekseevich Cherkasov enjoyed a friendly disposition and love. He was tall, a little stooped. The face was not beautiful. Brown hair, combed back, opened a wide forehead. A special sharp-sightedness was remembered in the eyes, and at the same time they were full of warmth and kindness. It was a man in love with art. He spent the summer months traveling around Russia and abroad, performing many studies. As an inspector and then a supervisor of academic classes, Cherkasov was attentive to people, taking care of the interests and needs of students. ” [5]
