I was born in 1953 in the city of Kizel, Perm region, into a close-knit family. Mom and dad worked at the Perm Research Institute. I have been writing poetry since childhood, I read it to my classmates at school, and it was published in the school wall newspaper. In 1971 she entered the Perm State Pedagogical Institute, the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics. While studying there, she graduated from the Faculty of Public Professions with a course in journalism. She published some poems in the student newspaper. After graduating from the institute in 1975, I began working at school as a physics teacher, which I still do today. The husband was a military man. She raised three children. Poetry for me is a way of understanding events and my feelings. I write when I can’t help but write.
