A fact from Olga Ivinskaya appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 4 November 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Olga Ivinskaya, the mistress of Boris Pasternak, was the inspiration for the heroine of Dr. Zhivago?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2010/November.

Wikipedia

Poet?

The way this article is written makes the subject entirely an appendage to the life of Boris Pasternak and, as such, could be included in a section of the article on him.

I don't think this is fair to Ivinskaya. If she was, in fact, a poet in her own right, then SOME discussion of her own literary work should be included in this article which, after all, is about HER life, not Pasternak's. Pascalulu88 (talk) 17:49, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
