Her father Sergei was a journalist and historian, her mother Ada Starynkevich was a mathematician, and her grandfather Sergei was the permanent secretary of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Saint Petersburg.〔Christiane P. Makward and Madeleine Cottenet-Hage, ''Dictionnaire littéraire des femmes de langue française'' (KARTHALA Editions, 1996: ISBN 2-86537-676-1), p. 448.〕 Her early childhood was spent among the privations of the Russian revolutionary period and the first years of Communism. Her father fled the country and established himself as a journalist in Paris. With her family, she emigrated to Paris in 1925 at the age of nine and graduated from the Lycée Molière in 1934 with her Baccalauréat diploma.
