Rebel
At the age of 13, dramatic changes occurred with the girl. Perhaps it's all about hormonal changes during adolescence. Ksenia got involved with bad company. She might not come home for several days. Together with her friends, the girl behaved like a hooligan: she slashed car tires, broke windows in hallways, and so on. Ksenia Kachalina, whose biography we are considering today, was registered with the police. Our heroine could stand trial. But she managed to escape with little blood. The rebel girl was sent to a special vocational school.
The parents decided to take their daughter to the village to her aunts and uncle for “re-education.” Ksyusha lived in the countryside for almost a year, where she did housework. And the girl devoted her free time to reading literature.
Ksenia realized her mistakes and returned home. She was accepted into her home school. Classmates saw a completely different girl - calm and friendly.
Ksenia Kachalina was the most scandalous and high-profile episode in the personal life of Mikhail Efremov
The decline of Ksenia Kachalina’s career in 2008-2009, of course, had one main reason - alcohol. It was this reason that also became the personal tragedy of actor Mikhail Efremov, who to this day does not comment on his ex-wife. It was then, with the beginning of the 2010s, that Ksenia Kachalina began to be suspected of alcoholism, and sometimes photographs and recordings of the Efremov-Kachalina couple were found on the Internet, in which it was the husband who led his wife home drunk.
Despite such a moral decline, the married couple of the great actors Mikhail Efremov and Ksenia Kachalina initially seemed incredibly harmonious and romantic to their fans. They got married in 2000, as they were in the same company of theatergoers and honored artists. A little later, Kachalina gave birth to Efremov’s first child, daughter Anna-Maria, and at the same time they both starred in high-profile roles, receiving awards.
Nevertheless, the complex character of Ksenia Kachalina made itself felt 5 years later, after the birth of Anna Maria. The wife of Mikhail Efremov began to abuse alcohol, and also, according to some sources, cheat on her husband. As a result of such phenomena, Efremov left her, reserving the right to raise his daughter, and Ksenia Kachalina’s life finally sunk to the bottom.
First film roles
Kachalina Ksenia is an actress who combined her studies at the university and filming in films. She first appeared on wide screens in 1991 in the film “Loveless.” The role was offered to her by teacher V. Rubinchik. Ksyusha agreed. The student was not even embarrassed by the fact that according to the plot she would have to participate in sex scenes.
In 1991, another film was released with the participation of Ksenia Kachalina. It was called "Darkness". The girl successfully got used to the image of a prostitute dating a revolutionary. Her colleague on the set was actor Oleg Yankovsky.
With particular warmth, our heroine remembers filming the film “Over Dark Water” (1993). She began a friendly relationship with the director of the film, Dmitry Meskhiev. Young Alexander Abdulov also starred in this film.
Many viewers remember the role of Ksenia Kachalina in the tragic melodrama “Wild Love”. Filming took place in Kyiv. Ksyusha brilliantly performed one of the main roles. Her heroine is a sweet and pretty girl Masha, who lives in a boarding house. She is dating a guy from a rich family. Lovers make plans for life. But suddenly the American Susan appears in their lives. She manages to lure the guy to her side. And between love and prospects, he chooses the latter. Viewers are accustomed to happy endings. But in this picture everything will end in tragedy. What does Kachalina Ksenia think about her heroine? The actress feels sorry for her and, to some extent, understands. Masha's love was truly wild.
The filmography of Ksenia Kachalina includes about two dozen works. Among them are:
- “Three Sisters” (1994) - Masha;
- “The one who is more tender” (1996) - Alena;
- “The circus burned down and the clowns fled” (1998) - Alya;
- “Holiday” (2001) - Lena;
- “In the First Circle” (2006) - Potapov’s wife.
Biography and career
The real name of Ksenia Kachalina is Oksana . She was born on May 3, 1971 in Saratov. As the actress herself admitted in one of her interviews, she was a difficult teenager: she did not get involved with the best company, could not spend the night at home for days, and even attracted the attention of the inspector of the police children’s room. Concerned parents decided to temporarily send the girl to relatives in the village. According to Oksana, the village “reforged” her, there she fell in love with reading, and upon returning to Saratov, she entered the Saratov State Conservatory named after L.V. Sobinov, but did not study there for long: after her second year, Kachalina decided to move to Moscow and try her luck there.
In the capital, the girl also took on a new name: Ksenia. She entered the All-Russian State Institute of Cinematography named after S. A. Gerasimov (VGIK), where she studied in the workshops of directors Sergei Solovyov and Valery Rubinchik . It was Rubinchik who was one of the first to pay attention to the abilities of the aspiring actress and in 1991 invited her to star in his film “Dislike,” which became Kachalina’s debut acting work.

After “Lovelessness,” the actress was noticed by the famous Soviet film director Igor Maslennikov and offered her a role in the film “Darkness” based on the story of the same name by Leonid Andreev , which was included in a series of films for the Russian-French project. There were only two heroes in the film: the young terrorist Alexey, who was embodied on the screen by Oleg Yankovsky , and the prostitute Lyuba, whose role was played by Kachalina.
Both “Loveless” and “Darkness” had many erotic scenes, but young Kachalina was not embarrassed by this. “When shooting sex scenes, everything should be based on trust in the director. If you sign up for this, you trust,” Ksenia explained in an interview.
The next director to invite Kachalina was Ivan Okhlobystin : in his 1992 film “The Arbiter,” the actress played the girlfriend of a hitman. Afterwards, the girl was invited to play the main role in the Ukrainian “Wild Love” by Villen Novak .
In 1993, Ksenia starred in Dmitry Meskhiev’s “Over Dark Water.” Her filming partner was Alexander Abdulov . For this role, Kachalina received her first award: the prize for best actress at the Italian film festival in Taormina.

In 1994, Ksenia was again invited to filming by one of her teachers, Sergei Solovyov. The girl starred in his film adaptation of Chekhov's Three Sisters. Until the end of the 1990s, Kachalina managed to play in two more popular films of that decade: “The One Who Is More Tender” (1996) by Kazakh director Abay Karpykov and “The Circus Burnt Down and the Clowns Ran Away” (1998) by Vladimir Bortko .
In 2000, Kachalina starred in the historical project “The Romanovs. The Crowned Family" directed by Gleb Panfilov . She played the role of one of the daughters of Nicholas II , Grand Duchess Tatiana . Her partners on the set were such famous Russian actors as Oleg Basilashvili, Igor Dmitriev, Alexander Filippenko . In 2006, Kachalina once again starred with Panfilov, this time in the television series about the life of writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn “In the First Circle.”

As of January 2020, the latest film in her filmography is the melodrama “The Price of Madness” (2007), in which the actress played the main role.
Personal life of Ksenia Kachalina
Our heroine is a slender brunette with a cute face. It’s easy to guess that she had a lot of fans. Back in high school, guys started chasing Ksyusha. Kachalina had her first love and her first kiss. But a serious relationship began only at the institute. But soon the couple broke up. The actress devoted herself entirely to her work.
A few years later, Ksenia Kachalina’s personal life improved. On the set of one of the films she met actor Mikhail Efremov. A spark ran between them. Mikhail did not put off the marriage proposal indefinitely. The lovers got married. Relatives of the bride and groom, as well as their colleagues, were invited to the celebration.
On October 14, 2000, Ksyusha gave her husband a charming daughter. The baby received the double name Anna-Maria. The family life of the acting couple quickly went wrong. Mikhail announced that he was leaving Ksenia. On the same day, he packed his suitcase and left in an unknown direction.
“Drinks in the company of cats”: how Efremov’s ex-wife Ksenia Kachalina fell
Actress Ksenia Kachalina, known for her role as Lena in the 1993 film “Over Dark Water” and for her short marriage to actor Mikhail Efremov, is currently in a deplorable state. As the media reports, by abusing alcohol, the actress lost her beauty, career and her own daughter, who went to live with her father and almost never visits her mother.
The once famous beauty, actress Ksenia Kachalina, began to be discussed again in the press, but now the reason for this was not new work in films, but her appearance radically changed under the influence of alcohol. The ex-wife of actor Mikhail Efremov has long suffered from addiction and leads a reclusive lifestyle in the company of cats.
In 47-year-old Ksenia it is difficult to recognize the former beauty who won the hearts of popular actors Ivan Okhlobystin and Mikhail Efremov. Previously, the artist could often be found at social parties.
In 1993, she was recognized at a film festival in Italy, being awarded for best actress in the drama "Over Dark Water".
Currently, the woman allegedly seriously abuses alcohol, Channel Five reports. She still lives in an elite house on Bryusov Lane, but according to journalists, the apartment itself is in disarray: things are scattered everywhere, the wallpaper is torn, and the floors are shabby.
Her union with Ivan Okhlobystin lasted two years, and in a short marriage with Mikhail Efremov, she gave birth to her only daughter, Anna-Maria. Until the age of eight, the girl lived with her mother and often went on vacation with her, despite the fact that Mikhail did not approve of this.
According to Kachalina, her daughter does not visit her, but her ex-husband helps with money. As the actress herself said, she maintains “good health” every day.
Mikhail Efremov and Ksenia Kachalina
Last November, StarHit spoke with the actors’ daughter Anna-Maria, who often provokes the public with her statements online. In particular, she previously admitted to being gay.
Many assume that with this behavior the girl seeks to attract the attention of her elders, which she might have lacked in childhood next to her alcoholic mother and workaholic father. According to the artists’ daughter, at the school where she studies, in addition to the main program, there are theater and music clubs; in general, she is pleased with the conditions, but would not refuse to have tastier lunches. Anna-Maria is a good student, but she tries to do better for the sake of her father.
In relations with classmates, Efremova tries to adhere to “soft neutrality.” After graduating from school, the girl does not have clear plans, but most likely she will choose a profession related to art.
From her famous father, Anna-Maria receives mainly persistent and obvious recommendations to study hard. However, in the matter of her future profession, Mikhail gives his daughter complete freedom.
Mikhail Efremov with his daughter Anna-Maria
“We see each other about once or twice a week. When his performances are in Moscow, I often attend rehearsals. He helps with everything, I think such a contribution is truly priceless. Who visits whom? It depends. We can watch a movie together, I prefer science fiction, but I’m more into TV series. “I am a long-time fan of Sherlock and Doctor Who from the BBC,” said the artist’s daughter.
In recent years, Mikhail Efremov has increasingly found himself in the spotlight due to scandalous statements. The actor has repeatedly expressed an unpopular point of view regarding the political relations between Russia and Ukraine, which causes a sharp reaction from the public. Last December, Efremova again found himself at the center of a scandal, this time related to his mother, People's Artist of the RSFSR Alla Pokrovskaya. The actress with severe back pain was hospitalized in the neurological department of one of the Moscow clinics. According to REN TV, she arrived at the hospital accompanied by her son. It is noted that Efremov was not able to leave the territory of the institution for a long time, and therefore he caused a scandal to the clinic staff.

Tragedy
Since 2007, the actress has not acted in TV series or films. Many viewers immediately asked the question: “What happened to Ksenia Kachalina?” Has she really moved for permanent residence to another country? But the truth turned out to be much sadder.
Ksenia had a hard time breaking up with Efremov. She tried to drown her pain and sadness in alcohol. Soon, at the invitation of Amalia Mordvinova, the actress went to India. They say that there Kachalina became addicted to drugs. She was not in the country for 7 years. All this time, daughter Anna-Maria was in Russia with her grandmother.
When the actress returned to her homeland, her neighbors and former colleagues did not recognize her. There was no trace left of the young and blooming woman. Due to the constant use of drugs and alcohol, Kachalina became like a street beggar.
Is there a way out of the bottom of the glass?
Acquaintances of the actresses are ringing the bells - Ksenia needs help, and immediately. The woman who used to be meticulous about her appearance, spent half her day in beauty salons and dressed in the latest fashion, became simply unrecognizable. In her cluttered bedroom there is an old wardrobe, instead of exclusive outfits there are a couple of old stretched sweaters. And the good-quality white dressing table with cosmetics was covered with a thick layer of dust. Health, apparently, also leaves much to be desired.
According to the woman, her daughter does not visit her. But Ksenia sometimes communicates with her ex-husband Mikhail Efremov. Rumor has it that the actor even sometimes helps her with money. Although he knows that the ex-wife buys mostly alcohol with them.
As the neighbors say in a whisper, Ksenia maintains “good health” every day, and if suddenly she has not received treatment, it is better not to approach her. “Then the evil one walks around like the devil,” the neighbor’s grandmother fearfully admits, looking around. The only living creatures that are always a joy for the actress are her numerous cats.
Once upon a time, Ksenia tried to get out of this “swamp”. Even on the advice of knowledgeable people, I went to India for treatment using some ancient methods. After returning seven years later, friends noticed that Kachalina had changed mentally. And for the worse. She became more unbalanced and became even more withdrawn into herself.
The former beauty has not acted in films for twelve years. Her last film, “The Price of Madness,” was released in 2007 and, apparently, claims to become prophetic. The main character, played by Ksenia Kachalina, is a person suffering from a serious mental illness.
True, the film has a happy ending. After all the trials that befell her, the heroine finds true love. Whether Ksenia is able to rewrite her own, real life and come up with a “happy ending” for it, time will tell...

Actor's rise
From the early nineties to the beginning of the two thousandth, the actress acted almost continuously - with her teacher Sergei Solovyov in the film “Three Sisters” in 1994, with Dmitry Meskhiev in the film “Over Dark Water” (for this film she received an award for best actress), with Dmitry Bortko in the film “The circus burned down and the clowns fled.” In 2000, Ksenia was approved for the role of the daughter of Nicholas II, Tatyana, in the film “The Romanovs. Crowned family."
This film was shot in the wake of interest in the royal family, after the discovery of their remains in Yekaterinburg. On the set of this film, Ksenia and Mikhail Efremov met. The latter played the role of the odious politician Kerensky. This film became one of the brightest TV series of the early twenty-first century.
