    Early life

    Akinshina was born in what was then Leningrad in the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic.[1] Her father was a car mechanic and her mother an accountant. She has a younger sister.[2] At the time she landed the role in Lilya 4-ever (2002), Akishnina only spoke Russian, and communicated with director Lukas Moodysson with the help of Alexandra Dahlström as her interpreter.[1]

    Career

    Starting acting at age 12, Akinshina was discovered by Sergei Bodrov, Jr., and she made her screen début in the Russian crime film Sisters (2001), Bodrov's own directorial début.

    Her second film, Lilya 4-Ever (2001), earned her a 2002 European Film Award nomination for Best Actress. She lost, however, to the eight actresses of the film 8 Women (2002), directed by François Ozon. For her role in Lilya 4-Ever, she also received the award for Best Actress in Leading Role from the Guldbagge Awards, Sweden's national film awards.

    Since then Akinshina has acted in the films Het Zuiden, directed by Martin Koolhoven, and The Bourne Supremacy (2004), directed by Paul Greengrass.

    From 2007 to 2010, Akinshina was married to businessman Dmitry Litvinov,[3] with whom she has a son. In 2012, she remarried to film producer Archil Gelovani. The couple had two children. They separated in 2018.[4]
