2022: Twice banned for his nationality[edit]

Hungry to make his debut at a World Short Course Swimming Championships at the 2022 World Short Course Championships, originally scheduled to be held in Kazan in his home country and later transplanted to the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre in Australia, Pavlov had his home-country debut dreams squashed by FINA after they moved the event out Russia and then banned all Russians and Belarusians from their competitions at least from 21 April 2022 through 31 December 2022.[43][44] Additionally, LEN opposed his presence at their competitions by banning him along with all other Russian and Belarusian competitors and officials starting 3 March 2022 and continuing indefinitely.[45] While he and other Russians were allowed to compete at other competitions, not organized by LEN nor FINA, the times they achieved did not count for world records nor world rankings.[46]

Continuing on with competition nationally instead, Pavlov won the bronze medal in the short course 200 metre butterfly during the second swimming portion of the 2022 Russian Solidarity Games in November, a competition for multiple sports and including multiple countries, achieving his medal with a personal best time of 1:51.37.[47][48] In the 100 metre butterfly, he placed seventh in the final, finishing 0.72 seconds behind gold medalist Andrey Minakov with a time of 50.64 seconds.[49]
