Olga Ivanovna, a 76-year-old living in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, unexpectedly gained popularity in the internet world. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Despite being retired, she achieved great success in modern cybersports and streaming. In 2021, her grandson gifted her a touchscreen smartphone.
Through this, Olga saw people playing games online and broadcasting the gameplay live. This inspired her, and she decided to start streaming herself.
Previously working as an engineer in the public catering sector, Olga found a new hobby to avoid boredom in retirement. Olga Ivanovna became mainly known for streaming Counter Strike, and she also plays games such as Minecraft, Tomb Raider, Metro, Bioshock, Atomic Heart, and Diablo 2.
Currently, her channel has over 220,000 subscribers, with an average of 450 viewers per live broadcast. With the help of viewers, she earns approximately 100,000 rubles per month.
This income not only covers her personal needs but also helps pay off her family's debts. Additionally, her 73-year-old dream—to perform a parachute jump—was financially supported by her subscribers.
Olga Ivanovna proved by her example that retirement age is not the end of life but the beginning of a new chapter. Her story shows that elderly people have the opportunity to master new technologies and interests not only in Russia but worldwide.
This situation serves as a source of inspiration for many people.
