Ania Bukstein Facts
- Born and raised in Moscow, Ania and her parents relocated to Israel in the early 1990s even as her grandparents continued to stay in Moscow. She began getting trained in classical piano from the age of just 5 in Moscow as it was a common practice in the erstwhile USSR for parents to get their children trained in classical instruments with strict discipline, from a very early age.
- However, upon emigration to Israel, she gave up her dream of becoming a professional concert pianist and started getting trained in drama and theatrics from the age of 12.
- For her portrayal of a young Holocaust survivor named Anna, in the 1994 film Eretz Hadasha (A New Country), she was nominated for an Ophir Award in the category of ‘Best Actress’. She was the then-youngest actress to earn such a nomination.
- Once she completed her high school graduation, she went on to serve as a soldier for 2 years. She was a member of the Israeli Air Force Band.
- A polyglot, she is fluent in Hebrew, Russian, French, and English. She has even performed in films and TV shows in all of those languages.
