The only woman on the panel, Olga Petersen, was born into a Russian-German family in the Siberian city of Omsk, and moved to Hamburg with her family when she was 16. She served on the state executive board of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) in Hamburg, and in the 2020 state elections, Peterson became a member of the state parliament, achieving the third-best result of the AfD Hamburg candidates. A mother of four, she is known as a strong opponent of the manipulative, ideologically rooted indoctrination of children in state schools—especially in the areas of sexuality and gender identity.
