Begisheva Alevtina

Begisheva Alevtina, (who is respectfully referred to by her last name in the tradition of Ud,) is one of eight elderly women which make up The Buranovo Grannies, a well-known and adored group of singers. By the start of the main storyline, Alevtina is at the age of fiftyfour, making her the second youngest, (she was originally the youngest until Elizaveta Filippovna Zarbatova retired and was replaced by Tuktareva Olga.)

She spent her entire life as an accountant for the Ud Community Centre, sorting out the finances that go to and thro within the village. For many years, Alevtina, along with her family, spent a great time trying to find as many old heirlooms as possible, for this was one of their most treasured hobbies. When the Buranovo Museum was opened within the Ud Community Centre, Alevtina was appointed as Head of the Museum, a title she has held for four years. The Museum itself is populated with her collected heirlooms, along with others donated by village members and by any number of her fans.

Being an accountant for much of her life, Alevtina wishes to have order in her life, and can be seen as the organiser of the group. It is also a commonly known fact that Alevtina really enjoys sudokus.

Alevtina has three children.
