Overall: 
The article was recently expanded 5x and is well sourced, but it has a copyediting tag. Looking at the page it needs a little editing for grammar and English. There's a little close paraphrasing in the introduction but that's an easy fix. qpq isn't needed for a first time nom. The hook was a bit clunky, so I made it more concise. The main thing is getting this page cleaned up, once that's done I'll approve this. BuySomeApples (talk) 04:45, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

@Ratnahastin: thank you for working on those! I've also done a little copyediting to clean up punctuation and split run-on sentences into smaller ones. I think it's up to spec now so I'm giving this nom a checkmark. BuySomeApples (talk) 18:42, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

Page 16: "The Soviet government had given her special permission to travel to India to scatter the ashes of her “husband,” Brajesh Singh, on the Ganges in his village—Kalakankar, Uttar Pradesh—as Hindu tradition dictated. She added bitterly that because Singh was a foreigner, Aleksei Kosygin, chairman of the Council of Ministers, had personally refused her request to marry him, but after Singh’s death, she was permitted to carry his ashes to India."
Page 404: Where she personally referred to him as her husband:"My husband’s death changed my nature. I feel it impossible to be silent and tolerant anymore.
