However, already in elementary school, the girl was tired of her family “stuffing” her with music and, unable to bear it, one day exclaimed: “Play your Mozart yourself, I’ll play sports.” But sports didn’t work out either, but the dream of becoming an actress appeared.
Christina grew up bold and lively from childhood. As her school friend recalled, in the yard she was the only girl out of many boys - her friends in the “gang” protected her, but often made fun of her, which strengthened Babushkina’s character.
Kristina Babushkina’s height is 185 cm. After graduating from school, secretly from her parents, who were not very encouraging of her choice, Babushkina submitted documents to the Irkutsk Theater School, informing about her decision only after official enrollment. Studying was easy for Christina, but the joy that she had finally found her calling was overshadowed by tragedy.
In the summer, Christina and her friend from school went for a swim in the lake by car. On the way back, they lost control, drove into oncoming traffic at high speed and crashed into another car. Teachers doubted that the girl, whose right leg was literally sewn together by doctors piece by piece, would ever be able to walk on the theater stage again. Grandmother had to leave the school due to professional incompetence.
Kristina Babushkina, while studying at the Moscow Art Theater, but the purposeful Irkutsk resident not only did not give up - she went to Moscow to try her hand at the capital's theater universities.

Kristina was born on January 18, 1978 in Irkutsk. The girl's parents belonged to the creative intelligentsia. Mother, Olga Stanislavovna Babushkina, worked as a conducting teacher at the city music college and, at the same time, was the director of the philharmonic chamber choir. Father, Konstantin Stepanovich Babushkin, was one of the musicians of the governor's orchestra of the regional philharmonic society. Parents believed that the family love of music and the choice of their daughter’s future profession were predetermined. Olga Stanislavovna saw Christina as a successful opera singer for a long time. The family began laying the foundations of knowledge in their daughter from childhood. First, Christina was taken to a music school. It soon became obvious that Babushkina had not inherited her parents’ passion for music. Most of all, at an early age, the girl was interested in reading. At first she read for herself. Over time, this was not enough for Babushkina, and she began to collect impromptu literary readings. She read for friends, acting out roles, using all her natural acting talent. Even then she decided to become an actress. Parents did not entirely approve of this intention. Then, after graduating from high school, Kristina, secretly from her family, submitted documents to the Irkutsk city theater school, successfully passed all the entrance tests and was enrolled in the first year of study. A few years later, during her fourth year of study, Babushkina suffered a serious accident, as a result of which she received a significant leg injury. Having undergone several operations and being forced to fall behind the general program, Christina received an offer from the management of the theater school to transfer to the musical comedy department. The future actress did not want to do this. Her next act was unexpected for everyone. Having finally said goodbye to the city theater, barely standing on her injured leg, Babushkina left her native Irkutsk and set off to conquer the capital’s universities. Despite the circumstances, despite the injury, which prevented her from not only dancing well, but even simply moving, Christina successfully passed the entrance exams to several Moscow theater schools. Among them were the Boris Shchukin Theater Institute, the All-Russian State University of Cinematography named after S. A. Gerasimov and the Moscow Art Theater School. As a result, her choice settled on the latter, where Babushkina became a student and studied on Oleg Tabakov’s course. The aspiring actress’s cinematic debut took place while still a student.

By the way, Babushkina never managed to connect her life with sports. Her dream died out quite quickly on its own. At the same time, the future star began to dream of building an acting career.
In her childhood, one might say, Babushkina was a real “tomboy”. She constantly walked in the company of boys, finding herself the only girl in a “gang” of tomboys. At the same time, the boys treated their friend with trepidation, protecting and protecting her from all adversity. In return, she tried to teach her friends how to properly communicate with the fairer sex. Such childhood years strengthened Babushkina’s character, since she was not even afraid to communicate with people who had completely different characters.

Doctors and teachers strongly doubted that Babushkina would be able to return to her favorite activity and continue playing on the theater stage. Based on this, the future star decided to withdraw her documents from the school, since the teachers did not believe in her at all.
