Such as Chulpan Khamatova often say - a symbolic figure. A vague term, but in the case of Khamatova fits perfectly - it is one of the most outstanding actresses of her generation, independent personality and active public figure really is a sign of its time. Time ambiguous, marking the great difficulties, but also features.

Mathematics - good art - is better

Chulpan khamatova born on October 1, 1975 in Kazan, in the Tatar family. Her parents were engineers, so from childhood Chulpan (this is the real name of the actress, in translation from the Tatar it means «star of dawn", and to the stage name has nothing to do) was immersed in the world of engineering calculations and mathematical formulas. However, the girl is not particularly depressed - she showed up at an early age the ability to exact sciences, so that high school she spent in the School of Mathematics at the University of Kazan. As for any creative abilities, for the time being they have Khamatova hardly manifested.

It was not closed to the child, but keep several detached, was a person of confidence and initiative to express impulses or public statements are not experienced. It was a hobby, it is quite a serious figure skating. However, in acting this was still indirect relationship, and after school Chulpan entered the Kazan State Finance and Economics Institute. But, apparently, there was just a case where the talent needed to mature - after the first semester Hamtova clearly realized that mathematics is, of course, is good, but that does not give her the financial discipline of any pleasure, on the contrary, I want to express myself in communion with people.

Leaving the Financial and Economic Institute, she enrolled at the Kazan Theatre School. We must pay tribute to teachers: they do not take long to realize how versatile acting talent girl, and advise her to try to conquer Moscow, where, like it or not, the best theatrical universities of the country. What Hamatova did, she came to the capital and entered GITIS. He recalls the actress, the first two years of life in Moscow for her were very difficult, and not once, not twice have the desire to go back home. However, the difficult period has been overcome. Also in 1995 Hamatova married his fellow student Igor Volkov (though later the family broke up after the birth of her daughter in 2002 Arina).

Whatever the role, the event

After GITIS Hamatova while playing on several theater venues in Moscow, while promising talented young actress in 1998, was not invited to the troupe of the famous theater "Contemporary". The potential and talent Chulpan by that time had left no doubt, because in the movie, she debuted during his student: in 1998 there was a film "Time of the Dancer", with the main role in which Hamatova was nominated for "Nick" in the appropriate category .

However, on Khamatova like talking about the absolute star in 1999, after the resounding success of the film Valeri Todorovski "Country of the Deaf", in which she also played a major role. The second nomination for "Nick" Hamatova received in 1999 for his role in an international drama "Moon Pope", and for this movie she turned down the role of Ophelia in a production of "Hamlet" legendary theater director Peter Stein (main role in which played Yevgeny Mironov) . Almost every next film role Khamatova (and there are currently over thirty) became more or less loud cultural event. This is especially true of her work in projects such as "Children of the Arbat", "Garpastum", "Ellipsis", "Paper Soldier" and so on.

Her theater repertoire also versatile - "Three Sisters" (and in different ways setting Chulpan performed different roles, first Rina, then Masha), "Three Comrades", "Storm", "The Naked Pioneer" (last performance was particularly controversial because ambiguous perception of the older generation). Success Khamatova awarded the title of Honored Artist of Russia, State Prize and numerous theater and film awards. In recent years, the basic operations Hamatova focus on the problem of charity: it is a co-founder and an active figure in the fund "Give Life", which helps children with cancer and hematological diseases. According to the actress, compared with this activity for her acting is not a job but a real vacation. Chulpan Khamatova has three daughters, the youngest of whom was born in 2010.
