How to add a new biography (not myself)?

Hello! I'm trying to add someone's biography to the website, Russians actress, dancer and choreographer. It explains how to edit the page but is it possible to create one for someone who doesn't appear in American projects? 

thank you in advance!

Is there already an IMDb name page about her? If not, then the way to create it would be to find the IMDb title page about one of these projects not based out of the United States but in which she is (or will be) credited or participated (or will participate) without being credited, and then see to it that a submission is made to add her to the cast listing. The alternative is that she sign up for standard IMDbPro and use the premium tools therein to simply create a new IMDb name page. The process requires linking an Amazon customer account and wherein the customer's credit card information is handed over. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how necessarily easy this is for customers located in or using banking institutions in parts of the world outside of the Western bloc nations, which can be especially concerning given today's uneasy international relationships.

@jeorj_euler​ thank you so much for the information! Could you tell me please, if I sign up for imdbpro, would I be able to do it myself for her there?

If you are her agent, Mary Duker, then claiming her name page would indeed be a suitable course. The prerequisite for doing such a thing is to have an IMDbPro subscription, for which https://help.imdb.com/article/imdbpro/your-account/how-can-i-join-imdbpro/GDBR9HJWYWLEQK7K# provides instructions on how to get started. You may want to register a separate IMDb member account for this purpose, so that you could hand it over to your client without complicating your badges, lists, ratings and contribution history. Once (if ever) the name page itself become unclaimed, it will have to have at least one filmography item on it in order to not be eligible for deletion from IMDb. There is a variant of IMDbPro that is free of charge, so it may not be necessary to maintain the premium variant, the standard IMDbPro. The instructions for claiming a page are at https://help.imdb.com/article/imdbpro/manage-your-imdb-page/claim-your-page/GXWAJBBV8EVPF3PE#, but you may be looking to create a new IMDb name page altogether, which would be necessary if your client's name cannot be found in the search results. The IMDbPro interface itself guides you (as a new subscriber) through all of this.
