Tatiana Kirillovna Okunevskaya (; 3 March 1914 – 15 May 2002) was a Soviet and Russian actress.

Life Tatiana Okunevskaya was born on 3 March 1914 in Zavidovo, Moscow Governorate. She was active in Soviet film and theatre from 1933 to 1948, whereupon she was raped by Lavrentiy Beria at his residence, arrested for alleged anti-state agitation and propaganda, and sentenced to ten years labour at Steplag. Beria picked her up under the pretense of bringing her to perform for the Politburo. Instead, he took her to his dacha where he offered to free her father and grandmother from NKVD prison if she submitted. He then raped her telling her "scream or not, it doesn't matter."
