Russia - the President of Belarus congratulated Konstantin Khabensky on his anniversary

Russia (bbabo.net), - One of the most demanded theater and cinema artists in modern Russia, Konstantin Khabensky, who celebrates his half-century anniversary on January 11, according to his contemporaries, was able to capture the spirit of true "engineers of human souls" in the character of his parents.

The exact sciences, to which they devoted their lives, added to the character of the future People's Artist of Russia a deep sense of purpose and filigree perfection of professional skill, his biographers note. Although the decision to become an actor came when he worked as a stage editor at the Saturday Theater. "I went to the site and felt that I like it, it attracts me," - Konstantin Khabensky recalled in an interview.

In the welcoming address, which the President of Belarus sent to the hero of the day, it is noted that with his tireless creative activity he won "the love of numerous fans around the world and high authority among professionals." Separate words of gratitude, says Alexander Lukashenko, deserve "charitable projects created by the theatrical master, aimed at realizing the principles of humanity and mercy in modern society."

After graduating from the Leningrad Institute of Theater, Music and Cinematography, his first theatrical triumphs at the Perekrestok and Satyricon theaters, he was remembered by theatergoers for his work on the stage of the Lensovet St. Petersburg Theater in the performances Wojzeck, Waiting for Godot, "King, queen, jack". And a little later the talented actor was invited by Oleg Tabakov to play the main role in the play "Duck Hunt". And now, for almost twenty years, the hero of the day has been working at the Moscow Art Theater named after A.P. Chekhov, where since October 2021 he has been its artistic director.

The light of theatrical spotlights is harmoniously combined with the actor and the intense search for his characters in the domestic cinema. Having crossed the line of the next century, a marathon of talented films begins in his creative biography: "Night Watch", "Admiral", "Irony of Fate", "State Councilor", "Poor Relatives", "Heavenly Court", "Geographer drank the globe", " Dr. Lisa "and many others. And four years ago he successfully made his debut as a filmmaker, directing the film "Sobibor" and playing the main role in it.

And literally on the eve of the coming year, the film "World Champion" directed by Alexei Sidorov was released about the real story of the confrontation between two.jpgted chess players - Anatoly Karpov and Viktor Korchnoi. The role of Grandmaster Korchnoi, who immigrated from the USSR a few years before the legendary match, was played by Konstantin Khabensky. According to him, on the screen he needed to breathe life not just of an athlete, but first of all in a person who has come a long and difficult path.

By the way, commenting somehow on his view of occupational “diseases,” Khabensky frankly admitted that, for example, star fever “happens to everyone. True, the artist himself recovered from this blues a week later, having specified that “then, of course, residual phenomena arose.

The scale of human empathy, critics remind, of Konstantin Khabensky is also extraordinary. Almost fifteen years have passed since he founded a charitable foundation that organizes assistance to children with cancer and other serious brain diseases.

And ten years ago, the People's Artist held a general gathering of all the "Theater Studios at the Konstantin Khabensky Charitable Foundation" called "Plumage-2012". Since then, the festival has been held annually in different cities of Russia. It was for this project that the actor was awarded the "Impulse of Good" prize in the field of social entrepreneurship.

The President of Belarus, quoted by his press service, wished the artist health, long life, inspiration and new interesting roles.
