Olga’s mother has said:
My great-grandmother Anna and grandmother Lena were very beautiful. The great-grandmother was a healer. She was Belarusian. She worked as housekeeper at the szlachta family Pudlovskiy. The owner seduced her. From owner was born my grandmother Lena. Pudlovskiy wanted to take her because he had no children of their own, but great-grandmother did not give.

Quite typical slavic look id say, she could eventually pass a local woman in some parts of the Eurasian region
Exotic mix. Exotic looks. All rightful and appropriate for her beautiful looks.
What’s exotic in her? She is just clear eastern slav
Pretty woman.
Her mother is Marina Vitalievna Alyabusheva (the daughter of Vitaly Alyabushev and Raisa Vladimirovna). Marina stated: “My great-grandmother Anna and grandmother Lena were very beautiful. The great-grandmother was a healer. She was Belarusian. She worked as housekeeper at the szlachta family Pudlovskiy. The owner seduced her. From owner was born my grandmother Lena. Pudlovskiy wanted to take her because he had no children of their own, but great-grandmother did not give.” If it’s true, Olga also can be 1/8 Polish (approximately), but it can be just a family legend.
Thank you. For the record, what is the link to where she said that?
