Oksana Sergeevna Akinshina (Template:Lang-ru; born 19 April 1987) is a Russian actress. She is best known for her roles in films Sisters (2001), Lilya 4-ever (2002), The Bourne Supremacy (2004), and Hipsters (2008).

Early and personal life

Oksana Akinshina was born in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg, Russia), where she currently lives.[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, Akishnina only spoke Russian, and communicated with director Lukas Moodysson with the help of Alexandra Dahlström as her translator.[1]

From 2007 to 2010, Akinshina was married to businessman Dmitry Litvinov,[3] with whom she has a son, Filip, born 2 June 2009. On 15 January 2013, Akinshina gave birth to her second son Konstantin, with the film producer Archil Gelovani. On 29 January 2017, she gave birth to a daughter from Gelovani.

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.[citation needed]

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.[citation needed]

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