Yeah, I've seen books by her. But I think she was into black magic! Not a very sympathetic person - although definitely famous....

Now I am out of ideas! I am sure there must be several sports stars - but I am rubbish at sports. War heroines - I know Russia has several, but can't remember the names of any of them... Singers... I'll think more on this, but it won't be Alla Pugatjova or Sofia Rotaru, and I can't think of anyone else who is known outside Russia. There must be several more academic people. Two women I thought were Russian, Anna German and Rosa Luxemburg, were actually Polish.
