Thread: Cool & Famous Russian Women that everyone should know about!

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.

I never heard about "black magic" in relation to her. I feel like she was more of playing around secret societies, like masons.

There are many persons known worldwide but in separate areas like opera, sport, business... Some wives of celebrities (Like Salvador Dali's.)

If about Russian poetry I think Marina Tsvetaeva is more important phenomenon in Russia than Akhmatova. I think.
