BIOGRAPHY

The stately beauty Kristina Babushkina comes from Siberia.
Her parents are musicians: her mother is a conductor, her father has been playing the oboe in an orchestra for many years. The girl learned to read very early, and it was impossible to tear her away from books. She read her favorite fairy tales to the children in the yard, very accurately depicting different characters.

The abilities of her parents were passed on to Christina, so music school was inevitable. It turned out that the girl had a wonderful voice, so she had every chance to continue the dynasty of musicians.

The actress says: “There was a lot of music in my life, since I was at rehearsals with my dad, then with my mother, then in the orchestra, then in the choir. And ultimately I was overfilled with it. At some point I told my parents: “Yes, play your own Mozart! I will devote all my free time to sports.” So the music school was over. True, neither speed skating nor volleyball lasted long, but a serious passion for theater appeared.

In high school, Christina firmly decided to become an actress. Her parents were not pleased with her choice, so she took the exams at the Irkutsk Theater School in secret. She told me everything when she was already enrolled in the first year.

The joy was short-lived. At the age of 17, Kristina Babushkina was in a car accident and spent the next two years in the hospital. Doctors literally pieced together her right leg. The question arose about changing her profession: few believed that the girl would be able to properly move around the stage and endure the physical stress of the artist.

I had to leave school, but Christina did not give up on her dream. She went to Moscow and managed to get into several theater universities at once! “Probably, this story was given to me for some kind of overcoming, in order to further strengthen my character and move on. And the belief that I wanted to become an actress literally put me on my feet,” says Christina today.

Making the final choice turned out to be quite easy. At a screening at the Moscow Art Theater School, Oleg Tabakov noticed the girl and kept her in his class. Of course, Christina did not refuse such an offer.

Conquest of Moscow

Our heroine underwent surgery on her leg. And after 2 months I went to Moscow. The talented and self-confident Siberian managed to enter three theater universities - VGIK, VTU named after. Shchukin and the Moscow Art Theater School. She chose the latter option. Her mentor and teacher was O. Tabakov.

Already in her second year, Christina began participating in various productions. For example, in the play “At the Lower Depths” the young beauty successfully got used to the image of Vasilisa. For this role she even received the Moscow Debuts award.

In 2002, she was awarded a diploma from the Studio School. The talented girl had no problems finding employment. After all, Tabakov himself invited her to work at his theater - the Moscow Art Theater. Chekhov. On the stage of this institution, Babushkina performed many striking roles. This is Venticelli in “Amadeus”, and Daria in “The Literature Teacher”, and Zinaida in the production of “The One Who Gets Slapped”.

MOVIE

Kristina Babushkina began her film career with small roles in the TV series “Truckers” and “Maroseyka, 12.” Then she starred in the 6-episode film “Shukshin Stories”.

In 2005, the actress got one of the main roles in the film “Diva” - she played Zoya. Two years later, a continuation of this story was published - “The Banker’s Girlfriend”. Another main role is in the comedy “National Treasure” about the everyday life of a military orchestra. The audience also remembered nurse Larisa from the melodrama “Zemsky Doctor”.

From the very beginning, Christina acted a lot - everything was interesting to try, and she needed to earn a living. And yet, she tried to choose roles wisely: “I can’t say that I agreed to obviously bad films. I refused several TV series, although they paid a lot of money for using my invoice. But I don’t know if other directors would have cast me after those projects or if I would have become a hostage to one comedic image.”

The filmography of Kristina Babushkina currently includes more than 60 works.

"Bloody Lady"

The big premiere of the Rossiya TV channel is the series “Bloody Lady” about the cruel landowner Daria Saltykova, who went down in history as Saltychikha. There are still legends about her atrocities. One of the roles in the drama was played by Kristina Babushkina.

The actress says:

“Most often I am used in films as an exaggerated comedic character. Therefore, I consider the role in the series “Bloody Lady” a gift - such an acting range is spelled out there. ...

When I read the script, I realized that this was exactly the role I was missing. My heroine in the story does not kill anyone, she only covers for her mistress, and when she realizes what exactly her mistress is doing, she goes crazy. In my opinion, the most difficult project. ... During filming, something always interfered with us: in the winter there were severe frosts, someone suddenly fell ill... We always overcame some mystical circumstances, but we managed.”

Kristina Babushkina now

Now the actress is on a wave of success and continues to appear in new high-rated projects. In 2020, in the melodrama “My Favorite Mother-in-Law,” Christina played a friend of the main character Tatyana (Evgenia Dmitrieva), who is trying to cope with family difficulties. A year later, the second part of the series was released.

Christina will also contribute to the creation of the drama “The Bloody Lady” about the life of Daria Saltykova (Yulia Snigir), a landowner famous for her cruel inclinations. The film is expected to be shown in the near future.

PERSONAL LIFE

Kristina Babushkina was married to actor Stanislav Duzhnikov. In 2007, their daughter Ustinya was born. The girl's name was chosen according to the church calendar. “We definitely wanted the baby to be called by an ancient Russian name,” says the actress. “Ustinya is a big girl; in my opinion, the name suits her very well.” At home we call her Stesha. In character, she is more like her dad - very calm, reasonable, a little clumsy, like Stas.” Ustinya has already entered secondary school, is studying English and Chinese, and is involved in equestrian sports.

After being married for seven years, Stanislav and Christina divorced, but remained good friends. The actress has begun a new stage. “They say parting is a little death. You don’t know what awaits you ahead, you worry. After the divorce, a different life began for me, and I admit that it was at that moment that I recognized myself in a new way, realized that I could overcome a lot,” admits Christina.

In July 2020, Kristina Babushkina got married for the second time. Her chosen one, Andrei, works at an energy company, and they met while visiting a mutual friend. “I’m glad that there is a real man next to me, with him I can allow myself to be weak and irresponsible. I know that they will protect me in any case,” the actress shared. According to her, Andrei managed to build good relationships with both her daughter and her ex-husband, so everyone lives amicably.

New love

For some time, Babushkina Kristina Konstantinovna pushed her personal life into the background. The young woman devoted herself to work and raising her daughter. But at the beginning of 2020, she met an impressive man. Unfortunately, his first and last name are not disclosed. It is only known that the chosen one is a major businessman (in the energy sector). The lovers live under the same roof. Christina's new chosen one accepted her daughter from her first marriage into the family. The couple is in no hurry to go to the registry office. They consider the stamp in the passport a mere formality.

The photographers managed to “catch” Christina and her common-law husband. This happened at the wedding of actor Oleg Maslennikov-Voitov and Alina Borodina. Our heroine was a witness. Throughout the evening, Babushkina Kristina Konstantinovna and her chosen one did not leave each other. They hugged and kissed, not embarrassed by anyone.

The former spouses (Stas and Christina) managed to maintain friendly relations. Ustinya often stays at the house of his father and his new wife. Grandmother’s attitude to this is quite normal. In addition, he and Stanislav continue to work in the same theater.

INTERVIEW

About the place of power:

“I visit the Irkutsk region every summer. In addition to taking my daughter Stesha to my parents, I definitely need to swim in Lake Baikal. This is a sacred act for me. I really get energy from him. I ask a lot from the lake. I make wishes. There is a belief that you need to enter Baikal entirely, washing away everything negative. Just getting your feet wet in the lake is blasphemy. Even if the water is cold. I follow traditions. And if suddenly for some reason I am unable to visit my homeland, it seems to me that I am exhausted.”

About fear:

“The word “fear” is my scourge. I am afraid of a lot in this life - I am afraid for my daughter, for my career, for the health of my loved ones, for our country... Sometimes everything is fine with me. Even when everything is fine with me, I still begin to fear something - what if it will not be the same, but worse. I think it’s in our mentality.”

About the rare texture:

“Of course, there aren’t many actresses like me—meter eighty-two. They won’t let me play Ophelia and Juliet, but there are no less wonderful and multifaceted roles. I carry myself at the height of my height! I consider myself an older actress. Over the years I gain experience and juice.”

About the profession:

“I have a Siberian attitude towards the profession: if you do it, then it’s good, and if it doesn’t work out, then it’s better not to take it.”

“I don’t understand what I would do if it weren’t for theater. Sometimes I think: if I were a good teacher, could I still achieve good results while continuing to study music?.. Yes, I am often dissatisfied with myself or with my circumstances! But I’m sure that this is my right path.”

At the same time, Christina was an active girl. She enjoyed jumping rope, playing volleyball with her friends and roller skating. Thanks to this, excess weight did not make itself felt.
