 * "However, she was rich and enjoyed political connections. Her money was explained by her ability to gamble, and she owed her connections to the fact that she was the illegitimate daughter of a Moscow party boss" Debryanskaya herself never stated anything of the kind, all these are unconfirmed statements Masha Gessen, who, unfortunately, in the Western world is considered almost the main expert on Russia and the post-Soviet space, although she often writes untruthful and unverified statements, for example, about the same Khodorkovsky and his parents, she says that they were allegedly dissidents, but decided to educate Khodorkovsky himself in typical Soviet thinking, so that he would not have problems in life, but he never said anything like that, and this statement by Gessen is simply unproven Цйфыву (talk) 20:20, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

Early fixes
I've put in some minor fixes and changes, the cats were presumably copied over in error from another article as it had a birth year of 1950 and a death year of 2014. No evidence that Debryanskaya is dead as of 2022, and indeed she appears in interviews in 2015 and beyond. Her birthdate is listed as 10 June 1953 if a source can be found for that, and it appears her birthplace is Kamensk-Uralsky in Sverdlovsk Oblast, rather than the city of Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinburg).
