The veteran actress chose to share her thoughts on the family dispute for the first time. "My sister Olga keeps suing me and our mother. We always win, that's how it is... What you're filled with, that's what you'll spill out," Maria candidly shared, addressing the issue in public for the first time.

Previously, she maintained silence about her family, opting out of participating in the family drama. "There's probably a different worldview there," she alluded to during an episode of "Empathy Manech."

Historically, Olga has criticized her sister for neglecting their mother, Lidiya Nikolaevna. However, according to Maria, she maintains contact with her elderly mother, who has health issues like a survived stroke and ongoing leg pain.

"I'm tired of the courts and the never-ending scandals, the lies and attempts to seize my property for the past few years!" Fedoseeva-Shukshina bemoaned recently.

Her grandchildren seldom visit. "They're all so busy... Sometimes I call them, ask how they're doing? They say, 'Grandma, everything's fine.' That's great. And Makar brings me money from the royalties. I still have 20% of the inheritance," she added.
