Is it true that the actor Konstantin Khabensky publicly supported Ukraine?

In March 2022, in many social networks there was information that the famous actor criticized the actions of the Russian authorities against Ukraine. We checked if it was true.

This is what text is walking in many Internet resources signed by Konstantin Khabensky:

“As soon as I talked about Ukraine, criticism and insults to me immediately fell. Friends, stop until it's too late! Yes, I am for Ukraine, and I do not see anything bad here! Friends, since you are so negative about me and all the news - in the near future I will delete all accounts! Communicate with other stars of Russia - for example with Sergey Bezrukov, Tina Kandelaki, etc. I wish everyone happiness and prosperity, everyone who loves me, and those who do not love me too! ”

Made on March 19 publication Users Natalia Suprunets with this text called about 14,000 reposts on Facebook. There were other quite popular publications. The news also posted a news resource "Dnieper panorama".

Attempts to find the indicated statement of Khabensky on more or less solid resources (including his personal accounts in social networks) are doomed to failure. The actor made the only noticeable statement on the situation in Ukraine on March 3, and he was placed on the official page of the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater Facebook:

“Dear friends!

I have never participated in politics and discussing politics, and today I am also not going to do this. Today, any opinion of a person who expressed a pros or against causes a storm of negativity in society. Let's respect each other's opinion, let's at least not arrange public reprisals on social networks.

In today's circumstances, when people die every day, it is very difficult for me and many of my colleagues to me, it is psychologically difficult for me to go on stage and do their job, but we will continue to do our job. Because the theater is the place where they speak of a person, about the life of the human spirit, about the value of human life.

Sincerely,

Konstantin Khabensky".

As you can see, in his appeal, Khabensky not only did not accept any of the positions, but even excluded cases of such his behavior in the past.

We mentioned the past for a reason. The fact is that the first cases of the emergence of the text we consider in the network date back to March 2014, shortly after the start of events in the Crimea and the Donbass. On March 15, on one of the pages on Vkontakte (K.habenskiy_official), signed by the name of Khabensky, first appeared RecordIn which he said: “Friends, you all know what is happening in Ukraine, and I want to tell you only one thing: I support Ukraine and condemn the policy of Vladimir Putin.” The publication caused a wide resonance and collected almost 6,000 likes, despite the fact that only 2,600 people were signed on the profile. And two hours later, another record appeared on the page, which was also instantly dispersed in public:

Finally, the third record on the page was the text we are considering about insults. Today, like the first two, she Inaccessible.

Nevertheless, all three records dispersed not only on social networks, but also Popular Mediaincluding a famous journalist Dmitry Gordon and Lithuanian edition DELFI. And despite the fact that back in December 2013, the actor declaredthat does not use social networks and the only window of his communication with fans is a page Constantine Khabensky charity foundation.

The next day, March 16, people began to arise a reasonable question: is the page on which scandalous notes appeared authentic? Despite the fact that among the subscribers of the Twitter account tied to the page, there were famous people (for example, leading Ivan Kudryavtsev), the page turned out to be included in the whole network of profiles with fake checkpoints of verification. Among the colleagues of the false Khabensky were imaginary accounts of Ekaterina Guseva, Mikhail Porechenkov, Vladimir Vdovichenkov, Elizabeth Boyarskaya, Maria Shukshina and several dozen actors and musicians. In a conversation with the publication TJournal The then spokesman for VKontakte Georgy Lobushkin confirmed that there is no Khabensky among the verified pages of the social network Konstantin. On the same day, Khabensky himself in an interview Life News He stated that he had nothing to do with the statements attributed to him about the disagreement with the position of Russia on the Crimean issue.

On March 17, 2014, VKontakte registered another account of a certain Konstantin Khabensky, where the next day appeared Record: “I had never used social networks before, having no need or necessity in this. But, unfortunately, some people consider it possible to register pages under my name and use it for their personal or commercial purposes.

I have never been interested in the motivation of these people, and I tried to ignore their actions. But for some time now, the owners of "my" pages began to abuse the trust of subscribers who thought that I was really writing. These people began to publish on my behalf “personal information”, requests for donations that are not related to my charitable foundation, and even political statements. Some media outlets began to reprint these messages as information received from me.

I would like to leave me the right to speak or not to talk about certain things personally, and not to be given someone else's fabrications for my statements. Therefore, I decided to register my official pages on social networks.

I work a lot and still prefer personal communication on the Internet, so there will be no personal information. But it is this page that will be the only official VKontakte. Any other page on my behalf is a sample, and I advise you not to trust the information that they write there.

Sincerely yours, Konstantin Khabensky. "

Someone may doubt: what if this refutation is made from the fake page? However, there is no doubt here, since this page I referred The most mentioned VK group of the Constantine Khabensky charitable foundation. In the same March, both pages were officially verified by the VKontakte social network.

Thus, the sensational statement of Konstantin Khabensky regarding Ukrainian events is a fake, which was rooted in 2014.

Fake
