Early life and theater career

Chulpan Nailevna Khamatova was born on 1 October 1975 in Kazan, Tatar ASSR, in what was then the Soviet Union. Her parents Marina Galimullovna Khamatova and Nail Khamatov are both engineers. Her name, Chulpan, means "morning star" (i.e. Venus) in Tatar (she is of Volga Tatar origin). Her younger brother is also an actor.[4]

As a child, she was engaged in figure skating and from the eighth grade studied at the mathematical school of the Kazan Federal University. She was accepted at the Kazan State Finance and Economics Institute but ended up changing her mind and entered the Kazan Theater School. Teachers Juno Kareva and Vadim Keshner, assessing the prospects of the beginning actress, advised and helped Khamatova continue her studies in Moscow, and she entered Russian Institute of Theatre Arts, the course of Alexei Borodin.

Khamatova performed on the stages of several Moscow theaters: Russian Academic Youth Theater (Dunya Raskolnikova in Crime and Punishment and Anne Frank in Anne Frank's Diary), the Theater of the Moon, the Anton Chekhov Theater (Katya in Pose of the Immigrant), the Open Theater Julia Malakyants (Silvia).

In 1998 she was invited to the troupe of the Moscow Sovremennik Theatre. She debuted in the role of Patricia Holman (Three Comrades by Erich Maria Remarque). She also received roles in the plays Three Sisters (Irina), Mamapapasynsobaka (Andria), The Storm (Katerina), The Naked Pioneer (Masha Mukhina) and Anthony and Cleopatra (Cleopatra), as well as the role of Masha in the new version of the play Three Sisters.

Philanthropy and politics

See main article: Podari Zhizn. Khamatova is known for her social activities, she draws public attention to the problems of children with cancer. In 2005, she and Dina Korzun organized the concert "Give me life" at the stage of Sovremennik Theatre to help children with hematological diseases. In 2006, Khamatova became a co-founder of the Podari Zhizn ("Make the gift of Life") charity foundation which helps children suffering from oncological and hematological diseases. By the summer of 2009, the fund had collected and sent for treatment of these diseases more than 500 million rubles. One of the permanent sponsors of the fund is Armen Sargsyan[11] [12] [13]

In 2012, Khamatova publicly supported Russian president Vladimir Putin during the presidential election campaign. According to Russian journalists, Khamatova was put under pressure to save her charity foundation.[14] [15] [16] In 2019, Khamatova said that she would never have done that if she could imagine that he would start the war in Donbass.[17] On another occasion, she said that she is actually apolitical, but the charity in Russia is heavily dependant on the support from the state.[18]

In February 2022, Khamatova was one of signatories of the petition started by Mikhail Zygar to protest the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[19] On holiday when the war started, she accepted that she needed to stay in exile in Latvia, realising that she could not return to Russia without being forced to deny the war or apologize for not supporting it.[20] [21] [22] She stated that after she signed the petition, "it was made clear to me it would be undesirable for me to go back," adding "I know I am not a traitor. I love my motherland very much."[21] In April 2022, she publicly spoke at an anti-war rally in the Latvian capital of Riga.[23]
