At the age of six, Olga remembers accompanying her mother to her theater performances. In one picture, she was killed. The actress played so naturally that everyone in the audience cried and worried.

Olga remembers how she studied at a music school for seven years. She did it according to her mother, and not at her own request. Studying, the student could stubbornly play the wrong note for several hours, just out of harm. At this point, my mother could run out of patience, and she would yell at her daughter. This always helped, since Olga respected her mother and was afraid. And not in vain, because although Ostroumova was understanding and kind, she combined this with rigor and justice.
