Childhood
The girl was born in the spring of 1926 in the family of an officer who had served in the tsar’s army, and a former noblewoman. In those years, it became fashionable to call children unusual names that had hidden meanings, so the girl was called Ninel, and if you read the name on the contrary, it turned out to be Lenin. She did not like her name and, even starting to act in films, tried to change it and asked to call her Eve.
Ninel spent her childhood in Leningrad, but then the family moved to Moscow, where a large apartment was allocated to her father as a military man. During the war, Konstantin Romanovich served in aviation and heroically died during the defense of Stalingrad.
The girl received an excellent upbringing, she was taught art and good manners. After graduating from school, Ninel decided to become an actress and immediately entered the theater school, thanks to her talents and amazing beauty.
