Biography Facts
The facts of the biography of Olga Vladimirovna Sinitsyna are so scattered and stingy that it is impossible to build an integral picture of her childhood and youth.

According to some information, it was possible to establish that Sinitsyna was born on November 6, 1940, her maiden name was Komissarova. The youthful years of Olga passed in the Far East. It is known that after graduation she entered the Far Eastern Polytechnic Institute (DVPI) named after V.V. Kuibyshev in Vladivostok.
