Albeit short, but at the same time a bright and happy life was given by fate to an ordinary woman from St. Petersburg, who we remember as the first wife of Konstantin Khabensky, People's Artist of Russia, beloved by many Russian viewers.
Journalist career

Consciously making a choice, Anastasia Smirnova tried to prove herself in the profession, worked a lot and always with pleasure. Her main place of work was one of the St. Petersburg radio stations, where she worked as a journalist for some time. It was in the process of work that Anastasia Smirnova met her future husband, Kostya Khabensky.
Meet Khabensky
In 1998, the first meeting between Nastya and Konstantin took place. They met in one of the St. Petersburg cafes. Anastasia Smirnova interviewed a novice actor, then unknown Khabensky. He was just starting his film career, starred in a couple of episodic roles and was invited to shoot the series "Deadly Force". Anastasiaat first, she was not particularly ardent about the upcoming interview, because she did not delve into the gangster showdowns with the police, which were so popular at that time. But during the conversation, she realized that the young man fascinates her just as she herself fascinates him, and that from that moment their life will change dramatically.
