It has become known why the Russian pensioner blogger was included in the Forbes list

Forbes magazine included Tyumen blogger Olga Tikhonova, known on the Internet under the name Foreign Grandmother, in the rating of the most popular Russian influencers.

It is specified that the recognition came to her unexpectedly. Her journey began in 2020, when the woman decided to start a blog on one of the social networks to cope with the feeling of loneliness after undergoing surgery.

Olga's videos are dedicated to recipes and gardening secrets. Gradually, her page's popularity grew, and together with her daughter, she organized a paid sale of collections of culinary advice, including sections on desserts, salads and appetizers, main courses, and canning.

Today, the number of her subscribers exceeds 300 thousand. Although there is potential for audience growth, the content creator herself notes that she prefers to maintain a comfortable level of the current audience. She maintains such close contact with her subscribers that she considers some of them distant friends, regularly sharing family news and significant events with them.
