    The Countess was born at a perilous time in Berlin, Germany before WWII. Her aristocratic family was forced to leave Russia before the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution or they would have been imprisoned and eventually killed. Being Russian in Germany was not advisable so once again her family was forced to move to France where she was brought up. Being subjected to persecution and turmoil at such a young age left a lasting imprint on the Countesses mind and heart.

    Upon arriving in this country she worked as an interpreter for a highly respected French political VIP, taught at two colleges for several years and had two books published. She also was involved in social affairs as a member of the US social register. In her spare time she created the Russian Nobility Ball which was held at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel for many years.
