Olga Vasilievna Perovskaya (Russian: Ольга Васильевна Перовская; April 8, 1902–1961) was a Soviet children's literature writer. She was born in Kazakhstan. Her most notable work Rebyata i Zveryata (Kids and Cubs) was published in 1925. It is a series of stories of about the various pets she and her sisters (Sonya, Yulia and Natasha) kept during their childhood. She was arrested on 15 March 1943^[1] and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment in labour camps during the Great Purge. Her sentence was later modified to one of exile. During 1940-50, her books were not published. She was rehabilitated toward the end of the fifties. Rebyata i Zveryata has been translated into a number of languages including English and Tamil. In English it has been published under two different titles "Kids and Cubs" and "The Wolf in Olga's Kitchen".
