Criticism
- In 2010, Mikhail Barshchevsky, on the Ekho Moskvy radio station, reacted rather negatively to the personal issue of flashing lights. Considered as a prominent tobacco lobbyist.
Mikhail Barshchevsky has been together with his wife for forty years, and during this time they managed to become not only wonderful parents, but also grandparents - their daughter Natalia, who will turn thirty-eight this year, has long become a mother, giving grandchildren to her parents. Natalia followed in her father's footsteps - she graduated from the law faculty of Moscow State University, works as a lawyer. But that is not all children of Mikhail Barshchevsky- Together with his wife Olga Imanuilovna, they adopted twins Dasha and Maxim, who will soon be ten years old.

When they took the kids into the family, they were two years old, and during this time they became truly native to the Barshchevskys. And, if Olga and Mikhail became the parents of younger children already at a respectable age, then they gave birth to their own daughter when they were third-year students, but this did not prevent Mikhail from graduating from a university with honors. When the time came for the eldest of the children of Mikhail Barshchevsky, Natalia, to go to college, he, like his father once, advised her to go to law school.
As a second higher education, she received law and the wife of a lawyer, and now she herself teaches inheritance and family law.

Natalia has been living separately for a long time, but the younger children of Mikhail Barshchevsky live with their parents in a big house in the Moscow region. Mikhail Yurievich said that he himself grew up in a poor family and dreamed of his own all his life. country house. As soon as the opportunity arose, they moved to live outside the city. The Barshchevskys built their new house for several years, and now it has become their real family estate.
Mikhail Barshchevsky and his wife made the decision to take foster children when their grandchildren were already adults and came to visit them less and less. After the appearance of babies in the house, they took a different look at life, and today they do not regret at all that they decided to take this step a few years ago.
Their daughter Natalia also supported her parents in this decision, and this was a pleasant surprise for them. The search for children in orphanages took no more than two months, much longer - about six months the kids got used to their new home. And then they thawed out and now Dasha and Maxim have become absolutely home children. Mikhail Yuryevich admitted that after they had small children, he and his wife themselves became younger and reconsidered their lifestyle - they almost stopped attending social events in order to spend more time at home with their children.

Mikhail Barshchevsky's maternal grandmother, German, was of noble origin. Her father, a descendant of the Teutonic Knights, was a privy councillor, trustee educational institutions the Baltics. During civil war she ended up with her first husband, a White Guard officer, in the Crimea. Here she met her second husband, Mikhail Barshchevsky's grandfather Solomon Gutmanovich. Owning a shoe business, at that time he had three shoe factories in the Crimea. After moving to Moscow, he created (irony of fate!) a shoe workshop at the NKVD. It was she who provided Papanin's expedition to the North Pole with shoes.
Mikhail Barshchevsky is a fourth-generation lawyer. His paternal great-grandfather, Yakov Davydovich Barshchevsky, was engaged in advocacy in Kharkov. Grandmother Tatyana Yakovlevna Barshchevskaya - a major revolutionary figure, was a member of the Cheka of Ukraine, then worked as a deputy prosecutor in Moscow. She had several generations of state rabbis of Ukraine in her family.
Her husband Alexei Selivanovsky was the creator of Literaturnaya Gazeta and its first editor-in-chief. In 1936 he was shot. Tatyana Yakovlevna was also repressed, exiled beyond the 101st kilometer. After her rehabilitation in 1956, she took up the practice of law.
Mikhail Barshchevsky's father, as the son of an "enemy of the people," was ordered to pursue a lawyer's career. Having received a legal education, he was an investigator of the Ruza District Prosecutor's Office, and since 1950 he worked as a legal adviser, was one of the best legal advisers in the country.
Mikhail Barshchevsky continued family tradition. After school, he entered the All-Union Correspondence Law Institute (now the Moscow State Law Academy). In 1978, after graduating with honors from the institute, he continued his studies at the correspondence postgraduate course of the Institute of State and Law of the USSR Academy of Sciences. In parallel with his studies, Barshchevsky worked as a legal adviser at the Moscow Margarine Factory (1973-79), then as a senior legal adviser at the Reutov city trade (1979-80). In 1980 he became a member of the Moscow City Bar Association.
In 1984, Mikhail Barshchevsky defended his PhD thesis. By this time he was already a fairly well-known lawyer, he handled both criminal and civil cases.
Starting his journey in the legal profession, Mikhail Barshchevsky did not follow the path of those lawyers who take only obviously winning cases in order to create a reputation for themselves as first-class lawyers. “Such tricks disgusted me even when I was working as a legal adviser,” says Mikhail Yuryevich. “Moreover, one day I decided: I will try to take on only those cases that other lawyers have refused. When I lost them, and this happened quite often, my conscience I was still clean: even if I couldn’t, but others didn’t even try ... But if I won, for me it was a real professional success. This is how a serious reputation was earned. By the end of the 1980s, the scope of its professional activity as a business lawyer (Barshchevsky conducted the last criminal case in 1985). His career in this capacity developed adequately to the formation of business in Russia, both small and medium, and large.

While working in the United States, Mikhail Barshchevsky began to seriously think about creating his own law firm in Russia, realizing that the old system of legal consultations had become absolutely unsuitable in the conditions of emerging market relations, when a lawyer can no longer be a generalist, being unable to solve the whole range of problems, arising from a person doing business.
Returning from the United States, in the summer of 1990, Mikhail Barshchevsky created and headed the first private law firm in Russia - Moscow Lawyers. In 1993, the firm was reorganized into the Barshchevsky & Partners Law Office of the Moscow State Civil Aviation Committee of Russia.
When the firm was formed, there were no problems with customers. The starting capital was the name of Mikhail Barshchevsky - successful work, impeccable professional reputation, academic degree, media appearances mass media did their job.
There were no sponsors who would help "stand on your feet". The company invested money earned by their own labor. Actually, Barshchevsky successfully combined his advocacy with the functions of a manager and teacher. It was necessary not only to "put the bureau on its feet" and fine-tune the mechanism of work - it was necessary to raise and train a generation of junior partners, to help them become high-class professionals. Now most of Mikhail Barshchevsky's colleagues are his former students, whom he took to the Barshchevsky and Partners bureau from the 4th or 5th year of the Moscow State Law Academy and taught.
For more than 10 years, Barshchevsky & Partners has been a leader in the field of legal services for entrepreneurial activity in Russia. Today, among his clients are foreign and Russian banks and companies, ministries, and various government agencies.

All these cases were related to the protection of honor and dignity, and all were won by Mikhail Barshchevsky.
