Anna Alexeyevna Andro, born Olenina, was born on August 8, 1807, and died on December 15, 1888. She was the daughter of A. N. Olenin, president of the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts. In 1828 and 1829, Anna was the beloved of Pushkin, who dedicated several poems to her, such as "Her Eyes," "Empty You, Heartfelt You..." and "Do Not Sing, Beauty, in My Presence," as well as some stanzas of "Eugene Onegin." Anna was a talented musician and singer, as well as the author of unpublished diaries and memoirs about Pushkin. She became the wife of F. A. Andro, president of Warsaw, and supported young Polish talents.

Anna was the youngest daughter in the family of Alexei Nikolaevich Olenin and Elizaveta Markovna Poltoratskaya. On her mother's side, she was a cousin of Anna Kern. Anna was born in St. Petersburg and was baptized on August 28, 1807, in the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary on Sennaya Square. Thanks to her father, who spoke ten languages, she received an excellent education.

Anna sang beautifully and in her youth wrote music for the poem by Ryleev "The Death of Ermak." At 17, she became a lady-in-waiting at the imperial court. She met Pushkin in the late 1810s when he began visiting the Olenins' home, which was a center of literary and artistic life in St. Petersburg. Their closeness developed in May 1827 after Pushkin returned from exile. Their first meeting took place at a ball hosted by Countess Tizengauzen-Khitrovo. Pushkin often visited the Olenins and their estate Priyutino. Vyazemsky wrote to his wife on May 21, 1828: "I went with Mickiewicz in the evening to the Olenins' village in Priyutino, about 17 versts away. There we found Pushkin with his love grimaces."

At this time, Anna began to think about marriage. In her diary, she wrote: "I see for myself that it is time for me to marry: I cost my parents a lot, and I have somewhat tired them. It is time, it is time for me to leave the courtyard, although this will be terrible. Leaving the house where I was happy for so long, I will enter the terrible dignity of a wife!" She was worried about possible infidelities from her husband: "How often, carried away by the fiery passions of youth, will he forget his duties! How often will he love others, not me... But will I violate the laws of duty, being neglected by my husband? No, never!" Anna had a choice. In a conversation with Krylov in July 1828, she named two suitors, Meindorf and Kiselev, but admitted that she was "not in love with them." Pushkin's response was recorded in her diary: "God forbid, he said, but I would wish that you marry Kiselev, and if you want to know, he desires it himself. But he and his sister say that he should not meddle, as Pushkin desires the same."

Pushkin indeed asked for Anna's hand but was refused. Rumors spread in St. Petersburg about his words: "I just want to get along with the relatives, and I will manage with the girl myself." Chamber Junker E. P. Shterich conveyed these words to Anna, which enraged her. Sergey Golitsyn, defending Pushkin, claimed he was present at that conversation and that it was said "not quite like that," accusing Varvara Dmitrievna Poltoratskaya, Olenina's aunt, of intrigue, who wanted Anna to marry her brother Nikolai. Among the reasons for the Olenins' refusal, Pushkinist P. I. Bartenev mentioned the secret surveillance over the poet, which Olenin, as a member of the State Council, could not have been unaware of. Pushkin's relationships with Anna Kern also influenced the decision. On September 5, at the name day of Elizaveta Markovna, Pushkin announced that he had to leave for his estate.

Anna married after Pushkin's death on February 16, 1840, at the age of 32 to Colonel Fyodor Alexandrovich Andro of the Life Guards Hussar Regiment. In 1844, she moved with him to Warsaw, where she lived for about 40 years. Her husband was jealous of her past, and "everything that once filled her maiden life was no longer to exist, even as a memory."

In 1850, Anna appealed to Emperor Nicholas I for permission for her husband to use the noble title and surname of her father, but the documents she collected in France and presented to the Minister of Justice were deemed insufficient. After becoming a widow, Anna moved to the estate of Derazhno in the Novograd-Volynsky district of Volhynia province, which belonged to her youngest daughter Antonina Fyodorovna Uvarova.

Anna died in 1888 and was buried at the cemetery of the Koretsky Monastery. Her archive was divided between her daughters after her death.
