Olga Kalashnikova, a talented American actress, hails from Belarus, where she was born to a Ukrainian-born mother, Liudmila, and a Belarusian-born father, Aliaksandr. Liudmila, a former college professor, had a profound impact on Olga's life, as she taught ethics, esthetics, and the Russian language. This exposure to various subjects and languages helped shape Olga's refined taste, which was further influenced by her mother's appreciation for the arts, fashion, and European culture.
