Khabensky in the cinema: the beginning
We can say that Khabensky received his first film role while still a first-year student - in 1991 he starred in the short film Pastime, an amateur film sketch about the everyday life of the Saturday Theater. In 1994, he got the role of a pedestrian with glasses in the comedy "To whom God will send", where Larisa Udovichenko and Stanislav Sadalsky were filmed on an equal footing with him. 
In 1998, the actor starred in three films at once: the Russian-Hungarian detective-phantasmagoric melodrama Natasha by Tomas Tot, Dmitry Meskhiev's melodrama Women's Property and the social drama Khrustalev, car!
The actor got his first roles largely by accident, but soon Khabensky was noticed and invited to play in Vladimir Fokin's drama House for the Rich, where Valentin Gaft and Nina Persianinova were also employed. For this work at the Gatchina Film Festival "Literature and Cinema" Konstantin Khabensky was awarded the prize in the nomination "Best Actor".
Star roles of Khabensky
The role of operative Igor Plakhov in the series "Deadly Power" the actor received quite unexpectedly, but it was "Deadly Power" that made Khabensky recognizable. The series was about to start filming, but there was still no actor for the main role. Konstantin rushed to the audition after performing in the theater, especially not hoping for anything. And it was immediately approved. 
In 2000, Khabensky starred as Gershuni in the TV series The Empire Under Attack, and in 2001 he again collaborated with Dmitry Meskhiev, who worked on the black tragicomedy The Mechanical Suite together with fellow students and Sergei Garmash. The work of the actor in Philip Yankovsky's film "On the Move" was not ignored, where Khabensky played the main role - the journalist Sasha Guryev, a successful hunter of sensations.
Famous throughout the country, Khabensky woke up after the premiere of the first domestic blockbuster "Night Watch". Which was not surprising, because Timur Bekmambetov, who was not used to being modest with the scale of filming, took up the film adaptation of the popular novel of the same name by Sergei Lukyanenko. Together with Khabensky, the incredibly charismatic Vladimir Menshov and Valery Zolotukhin, Alexei Chadov, Maria Poroshina, as well as invited celebrities - Ilya Lagutenko and Zhanna Friske, who played the roles of a vampire and a witch, took part in the filming.
Interview with Konstantin Khabensky about the film "Night Watch"
The fantasy tape opened the veil over the mystery of seemingly ordinary people with paranormal abilities, the so-called Others, Dark and Light. Sorcerers, wizards, witches and vampires - they exist and outwardly do not differ from ordinary people. Many of them live simple lives, and to prevent their abilities from disturbing the overall balance of power, there are departments that control their use - the Night Watch, where the Light Ones work, and the Day Watch, where the Dark Ones work. Konstantin Khabensky played Anton Gorodetsky, an ordinary employee of the Night Watch, for whom fate did not have great achievements in store. But it was he who became the only person who could save Moscow from disaster.
After that, Khabensky became one of the most prominent domestic actors. Soon he appeared in the lead role in "Poor Relatives" by Pavel Lungin, "State Councilor" by Philip Yankovsky, the continuation of the "Other" saga ("Day Watch"), the drama about the midlife crisis "Rush Hour", as well as in the film adaptation of the play Alexandra Vampilov "Duck Hunt".
2008 brought Khabensky even more new fans of his work thanks to the roles of Alexander Kolchak in the film "Admiral" and Kostya Lukashin in a remake of the legendary "Irony of Fate". Both films received fairly mixed reviews.
"The Irony of Fate" could not avoid comparison with the original source Eldar Ryazanov, and "Admiral" seemed to some viewers historically unreliable and overly melodramatic. But everyone admired the game of Konstantin. By the way, in both tapes he played with Liza Boyarskaya and Sergey Bezrukov.
In the same 2008, the American action movie "Especially Dangerous", directed by Timur Bekmambetov, was released. Khabensky gained invaluable experience working with foreign colleagues: James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman and Angelina Jolie. Although his character, a specialist in explosives, appeared in the frame for a short time, he was still remembered by the audience: both English-speaking and, moreover, Russian. By the way, Konstantin uttered all the lines in his role in English.
Konstantin Khabensky in "Particularly Dangerous"
In 2010, the actor starred in the film "Freaks" directed by Levaan Gabriadze and produced by Timur Bekmambetov. Khabensky's partner in this film was Milla Jovovich.
In 2013, the film adaptation of the novel The Geographer Drank His Globe Away with the participation of Konstantin and Elena Lyadova was awarded the Nika Award as the best film of the year.

The voice of Konstantin Khabensky is heard off-screen in the popular New Year's Yolki franchise with Ivan Urgant and Sergey Svetlakov. And in "Yolki 1914" he himself appeared on the screens.
Separately, it is worth mentioning the detective series "Method", in which the brilliant investigator Konstantin Khabensky, together with a young partner played by Paulina Andreeva, investigates intricate serial murders. However, his hero, Rodion Meglin, hides a secret from others, which sheds light on the methods of his crime detection.
Note that the series "Method" was highly appreciated by the audience, tired of the monotonous "soap" and a series of "Cop" series. Some note the similarity of the plot with the script of the American TV series Dexter. The creators of the "Method" themselves deny it, but do not hide the presence common features with True Detective with Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. By the way, many maniacs from the "Method" have real prototypes, which also adds spice when viewed.
In 2016, the film "The Collector" was released. For 75 minutes, only one actor appears on the screen - Khabensky. Thus, "The Collector" became for him a real acting benefit. The film told about a brilliant money-beater, acting not by force, but by intellect and a telephone receiver. Despite the fact that the action took place in a limited space of the office, and all the dialogues were conducted by phone, the audience listened to the plot without taking their eyes off the screen.
Released at the end of the same year Family Film « Good boy"Once again proved the professionalism of Khabensky. From a confident leader and a subtle psychologist, whom he appeared in the "Collector", he turned into a zatyukanny father of the family.
Personal life of Konstantin Khabensky: family, children
With his first wife, Anastasia, Konstantin Khabensky met in May 1999. A dark-haired visitor to a cafe that is not far from the Lensoviet Theater immediately attracted his attention. Unlike most girls, who even then would have given a lot for a conversation with an attractive actor, she reacted coolly to his desire to meet. Konstantin persuaded her to go to his performance. This is where their love story began. 
Anastasia worked as a journalist at a Moscow radio station. For almost a year they lived in two cities, and on January 12, 2000 they got married. The wedding was rather modest: the newlyweds celebrated the event in a cafe with friends.
Of course, like any couple, they had their ups and downs, but all of Konstantin's friends and acquaintances assured that their feelings were sincere. Appearing in public, they always held hands, and tenderness was read in their eyes. The army of the actor's admirers did not give Anastasia reasons for jealousy, with all the women Konstantin was polite and courteous, but no more. Hundreds of hunters for Khabensky's heart hated her, the entrance of the house of the married couple was painted with nasty things about Anastasia, and one of the crazy fans once threatened to pour acid on Khabensky's wife. But all adequate people spoke of Anastasia Khabenskaya with exceptional kindness.
Anastasia was a non-public person, but sometimes appeared on the screen. In 2003, she starred in the film "Lines of Fate" as a journalist, appeared in "Deadly Force-5" in the episodic role of a translator, in 2004 - in the film "Sapiens", in 2006 - in the film "9 Months".
On September 25, 2007, Anastasia gave birth to Konstantin's son Ivan. Shortly after the birth of his son, the 34-year-old wife of the actor was diagnosed with a brain tumor. The first operation was performed immediately, and a few weeks later the woman was operated on again. But in vain - the treatment did not help. Saving his wife, Khabensky sold most of the property, agreed to any roles, got into debts and loans. He moved Nastya to one of the clinics in Los Angeles. American doctors achieved remission, tumor cells stopped dividing. Anastasia Khabenskaya died of brain cancer in December 2008
It was rumored that the actor began to seek solace in the bottle, but, be that as it may, he managed to leave this difficult stage behind. “I believe and know for sure that you are looking down on all of us somewhere and protecting someone, becoming the most gentle guardian angel ... We remember you, Nastenka! We remember,” he wrote on the 7th anniversary of his wife’s death.
After the loss of loved one Konstantin Khabensky founded a charitable foundation that raises funds for children with oncology. Also, on behalf of the foundation, creative development studios were created in different cities of Russia. Many of the educators at these studios are older actors who are happy to share their experiences with the younger generation.
Konstantin Khabensky now 2018 was remembered by Konstantin for his debut in a new role - the film "Sobibor" was released on the screens. Khabensky acted as its director and played the main role. The prototype of his hero - real person, a prisoner of the Nazi concentration camp Sobibor Alexander Pechersky. Under the leadership of Pechersky, the first successful uprising of prisoners was carried out.
Initially, the director of the project was Andrey Malyukov, who was remembered by the audience for the film “We are from the Future”. After his departure, for reasons unknown to us, the creators of Sobibor, among whom was the Minister of Culture Vladimir Medinsky, supported Khabensky's candidacy. Khabensky spoke in detail about his new experience in his interviews with Yuri Dud and Vladimir Pozner.
Posner. Konstantin Khabensky
The film entered the long list of the Oscars, but was received coolly by many of the director's compatriots. "Sobibor" was scolded for an unfinished script, historical blunders and excessive pathos. Although many viewers thanked the director for the fact that “Sobibor”, according to Khabensky himself, the film “first of all is about people; he pushed aside the kumachs and canvases.”
Actress Olga Litvinova- second wife Konstantin Khabensky. Looking at all these pictures Olga Litvinova I thought she was modest Gray mouse who was born in some provincial town. But everything turned out to be not so simple. Olga Litvinova – only daughter very influential producer Alexandra Litvinova. Family Olga Litvinova quite well-to-do, moreover, educated and intelligent. In general, the favorite of the public did not marry a girl from the people Konstantin Khabensky. Before Khabensky at Olga Litvinova had an affair with Maxim Vitorgan but common acquaintances Oli and maxima claim that the lovers did not agree on the characters, allegedly Litvinova sharp and hard, and Vitorgan pliable and soft. Here's the thing! Again, looking at the photo, I would never have thought that Olga Litvinova a tough lady, it would rather come to my mind that she does not have her own voice at all, but simply hides behind the broad shoulders of her man and relies exclusively on him for everything. But what is true is that Olga Litvinova a very modest girl, does not like the hype around her person and once again prefers not to shine in public. For example, a wedding Konstantin Khabensky and Olga Litvinova passed very modestly, Olya and Kostya just came to marriage registry and signed without any solemn speeches, witnesses and magnificent robes. To be honest, such modest couples arouse my admiration, they do not shout to the whole world about their love, but even without words you can see unnecessary gestures from the outside. Khabensky and Litvinova that they are happy and good together.
V 2013 year Olga Litvinova and Konstantin Khabensky got married and June 3, 2016 year they had a daughter Alexandra. That is the first time the mother of the second wife Konstantin Khabensky became in 34 of the year.
Photos Olga Litvinova there are not so many on the net, it is clear that Olga not a fan of photo shoots, and most of her photos are most likely taken for a professional portfolio. Looking at all the pics Oh Olga Litvinova, we can conclude that we have a pretty, pretty, kind, attractive girl. And the right makeup and hairstyle can make her even more beautiful.
Konstantin Khabensky Born in the family of an engineer and teacher of mathematics.
