Is it true that Konstantin Khabensky is the author of a popular text about betrayal?

For many years, the motivational text is distributed on social networks signed by the Russian actor and director. We checked whether Hubensky wrote.

The viral text looks like this (author's spelling and punctuation are preserved): “Someday you will understand that there are people who never betray ... But for this you will have to go through a lot of betrayal. Someday you will understand that the external shine is nothing compared to internal beauty. Because all that is outside is the first rain ... And what is inside is always on! Even if it faded to barely visible coals. But, it is enough to fold the lips with a tube and gently blew - the fire will gradually flare up and warm you. Someday you will understand that many formulas and aphorisms that you picked up in the world around-empty, albeit beautiful, sets of words-nothing more. Only those truths to which you yourself have reached. Someday you will understand that kindness, tenderness, affection and care is a manifestation of internal power, not weakness. ”

This small work with the attribution of Khabensky is found in numerous collections aphorisms, and the most widespread in social networks. In the group alone "The best verses of great poets. Literature»Facebook on two dozen publications with this text Sicked A total of more than 117,000 reposts. He is popular and in "VKontakte".

In 2013, Khabensky admitted that Not leading social networks - there are accounts only at its charity fund. However, after a few months the actor registered page in "VKontakte"-according to him, due to the fact that fraudsters through fake accounts collected money on behalf of Khabensky allegedly for charity and made political statements. Nevertheless, he warned that there would be no personal publications on this page, and is still true to his word - this post remains the only one in the artist in VKontakte.

It turns out, at least in social networks, Khabensky did not place such a text. “Verified” did not find a viral quote either in an interview with an actor, or in any other authoritative sources available on the network.

On Facebook, the text without indicating the author began to spread first in a shortened form in 2011, and then in a more complete - in 2012And even then it became quite popular. Khabensky’s name in the signature appeared much later - in 2014-2015, and At first A fragment of the text was adjacent to another by the actor attributed by the actor: “Someone lacks one woman, and he switches to the fifth, tenth. And another lacks life to love one single. ” And only in the spring of 2016, the canonical type of “quote of Khabens” about betrayal was encouraged with this attribution, in which the doubtful role was played by the last role resources With the "quotes" of the actor. One of them, public in VKontakte was even Blocked for conducting charitable fees that violate the rules of the social network.

A similar picture is observed in the "Live Journal", where the attribution of Khabensky in the relevant publications appeared only in 2015, although the quote is actively distributed On the platform since 2012.

The oldest found “checked” publication with this text dates back to December 24, 2009, when it Loose The user of the Living Journal Aiyony with the commentary “hooked”. That option looked a little different-he was addressed to a woman and ended with the words: “Someday you will not want to call me uncontrollably. To do this, you just need to cross through your pride - not pride, no. Pride. And find me. And me? I ... I will wait for you. I'll wait. " The author was a certain Oleg.

On this, traces of the spread of the viral text break off, but we can say with confidence that Khabensky is not his author. This work appeared long before it began to attribute it to the actor, and then looked a little different.
