Nadezhda Seredina

Nadezhda Seredina was born in Voronezh and spent her childhood in the Siberian "taiga", where her house was located on the bank of the river Innya, a small, swift and cold stream that was visited by wild beasts.

At the age of 10 she came back to Voronezh, and this was the beginning of her life "amongst people". During the next 5 years she changed schools to times and a lot of apartments.

The change from a wild Nature to the life among poor people of a provincial town seemed to arouse the wish to write a diary. She started "writing" when she was 13. Her first poems, essays, "etudes" and literary portraits are full of pure infantile sincerity.

While still a student of a philological department she published her first works.

She worked at a radio station, at building sites, at a factory, at a secondary school, at a professional training school and at Moscow and Voronezh theaters as a Stage Manager assistant.

During the same period her first short stories, such as "The Rain Out the Window", "Heather Flowers" and "The White Blonde Dog" were published.
