Grichka Bogdanoff Background
Maria Maya Dolores Franzyska Kolowrat-Krakowská (1926–1982) and Yuri Mikhalovitch Osten-Sacken-Bogdanoff (1928–2012), a Russian painter of Tatar descent, had identical twin brothers, Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff. Grichka was born 40 minutes before Igor Bogdanoff. Countess Bertha Kolowrat-Krakowská (1890–1982), their maternal grandmother, raised them in her castle in southern France.
The Bogdanoff twins are descended from an aristocratic Muslim Tatar family from Penza dating back to the early 17th century, one of whose mirzas converted to Orthodox Christianity and was awarded with the title of prince by Tsar Fedor III’s proclamation.
However, they were unable to exercise this prerogative, and by the end of the nineteenth century, the title of “Prince Bogdanoff” had been lost.
The Bogdanoff twins have become famous for their prominent cheekbones and chins, despite the fact that they deny having undergone plastic surgery.
The twins’ cheekbones were described as “so high and bulbous as to appear to endanger their owners’ vision” by the Sydney Morning Herald in 2010, and their participation at the Cannes Film Festival had “created a sensation around the world.”
The twins’ cheekbones had become notably larger in the 1990s, according to the Herald, and “growth in their lips and chins remained unabated during the last decade.”

Grichka, who was 72 years old at the time, died of the condition on December 28th. Neither twin was vaccinated against the sickness, according to reports.
