Life

Alina Levshin, who speaks German and Russian as mother tongues, came to Berlin at the age of six with her parents from the Ukraine, which was then still part of the Soviet Union . Between 1991 and 2000 she played and danced in the children's ensemble of the Friedrichstadt-Palast . After graduating from high school, she studied acting at the Potsdam Film and Television Academy from 2006 to 2010 . She participated in numerous theater productions and films at her university as well as in performances at the Hans-Otto-Theater Potsdam. At the drama school meeting in Zurich in 2009, the Potsdam university production Lügengespinst was awarded an ensemble prize.

In 2009 Alina Levshin was seen in the episode Das Mädchen aus Sumy on the ZDF television series Rosa Roth and received a nomination for the New Faces Award from Bunte magazine . She achieved further fame through her leading role as the Ukrainian forced prostitute Jelena in Dominik Graf's 2010 television series In the Face of Crime , which she also played while studying. For this she was awarded the German Television Prize 2010 . Levshin's portrayal of the neo-Nazi girl Marisa in David Wnendt's feature film Warrior (2011) has also received multiple awards . After she was awarded the German Film Award 2011, where she was praised by the jury for her “breathtaking versatility” “in the face, in the language and in the physicality”, the newcomer award of the German Actor Award followed in 2012 , the Bambi in the Category Actress National and the German Film Award for best leading actress . She hoped that with Kriegerin the educational work on the causes of right-wing extremism could be supported, said Levshin after receiving her award.

In 2013 Levshin played the title role as the cool headhunter in the Grimme Prize- nominated psychological television thriller Alaska Johansson . From 2013 to 2014 she was part of the Erfurt crime scene investigator trio Funck, Schaffert and Grewel as a police intern at Grewel - and later as a commissioner . It was the youngest team of investigators in the crime scene series. After the broadcast of the second case at the end of 2014, which received many bad reviews, she decided, like her fellow actor Friedrich Mücke (Funck), to get out of the crime series.

In 2019 she was Dr. Julia Löwe in a leading role in the ZDF crime series The Specialists - In the Name of the Victims .

Levshin lives in Berlin with her husband and their daughter, who was born in December 2011.
