Is it true that Konstantin Khabensky is the author of a viral quote about hopelessness?

For several years, a short text about this hopelessness has been distributed over the network, the author of which is a Russian actor. We checked whether such an attribution is correct.

Completely quote sounds like this: “hopelessness is when on the 40th day you stand at the grave and understand that this is not a terrible dream, not someone's stupid joke, that now you will live like that, only without this dear person. You can’t change anything, the choice is made from above. This is what hopelessness is. And not yours: there is no work, the guy threw it, the girl was a creature, there is nothing to wear, the weather is bad and there is not enough money. While you are alive, you have a million options and outputs. ”

With the attribution of Khabensky it is distributed by entertainment portals ("Picabu" Fishki.net), Sites with aphorisms, users "Zena" And "VKontakte". The text has gained particular popularity on Facebook, where the community alone “The best verses of great poets. Literature "published it four times (31 000, 22,000, 10,000 And 1600 reposts). Other users and communities in this social network circulated and other users and communities (5500, 5500, 2000, 320 And 230 reposts).

In 2008 Died The first wife of Konstantin Khabensky Anastasia. The actor seriously survived her death, and in a recent interview admittedthat he could not fully recover from this blow. A few months before the death of his wife, Khabensky founded a charity fundWhich to this day helps children and young people with tumors of the brain and spinal cord. Talking about working with the wards of the fund, the artist more than once He emphasized The need to fight and believe in a cure, no matter how ghostly it may seem.

Perhaps that is why Khabensky is easy to imagine as the author of this quote. However, “verified” did not find a single interview with the actor in which he determines hopelessness in this way. These words are not found in the publications of authoritative media, especially with such an attribution. In addition, back in 2013, Khabensky admitted that Not leading social networks - there are accounts only at its charity fund. True, after a few months the artist still registered page in "VKontakte" - according to him, in order to stop the attempts of scammers to collect on his behalf of a donation through fake accounts. Nevertheless, he warned that there would be no personal publications on this page, and still adheres to his promise.

Moreover, on Facebook The test text began to be attributed to Khabensky in 2015, and for the first time it there Published (without indicating authorship) in early 2014. Similarly, in the “Live Journal”, as the author of the text of the actor, they began to mention in 2016, and the quote itself appeared in 2014. The same picture observed in the social network X (at that time - Twitter).

The earliest post with the text on hopelessness was “verified” on VKontakte, where on February 21, 2014 it Placed The public "at home will not understand." The record quickly became popular (26,000 likes, 1100 reposts), Twitter users actively shared a link to it.

In the public, “the house will not understand” the question “verified” about the possible authorship of the quote answered that the data was not preserved. Nevertheless, we can say with confidence that Khabensky has nothing to do with it. This is not the first time that the actor attributed Motivational texts that actively diverge over the network.
