Lydia Ruslanova is not a stage name

Lydia Ruslanova is not a stage name. She was left an orphan early. Father went missing in the Russian-Japanese war, mother died of an illness. The girl survived with her grandmother, one might say begged, they were served for songs, but the grandmother also died. The child was left completely alone. One rich woman decided to build her best orphanage for her vote, but peasant children were not accepted there. The woman went to forgery and handed over the child under the name of Lydia Ruslanova as a bourgeois woman. In gratitude to Ruslanova, she lived her entire life under this name. Thank you author for the memory
