There wasn’t enough money in the family, the woman was at work all the time, and her grandmother was engaged in raising a child.
Five people lived in the grandmother’s small apartment, where the future model and actress Olga Kurylenko lived. The biography of the girl shows that she had to work hard from childhood. As a child, she worked on her education:
