 Pasha had a very close relationship with "old mother" (whom she was named after), who brought her up and enrolled her in violin lessons.While most people at the time called her Pepi (the usual diminutive for the names Petranka, Petya, Penka and the like), her grandmother, who was a great admirer of Pasha Angelina (a famous Soviet Stakhanovite of the Joseph Stalin era), gave her the nickname Pasha.Pasha was traumatized by her grandmother's death.
