  Lyudmila Ulitskaya Biography and Summary

 Lyudmila Ulitskaya
Lyudmila Ulitskaya was born during her mother’s evacuation to the Urals in 1943.
Ten years passed before Ulitskaya found a new post, not as a scientist but as assistant to the Jewish Chamber Theatre, for which she wrote articles, programmes and synopses.
Unlike her great-grandfather, who was a devout Jew, Ulitskaya did not identify with Judaism, but the many official taboos on the issue of Jewish consciousness during the Brezhnev era cramped her artistic style considerably.

 Lyudmila Ulitskaya   (Site not responding. Last check: )
She was born in the town of Davlekanovo in Bashkiria in 1943.
Having worked in the field of genetics and biochemistry, Ulitskaya began her literary career by joining the Jewish drama theatre as a literary consultant.
Ulitskaya's first novel Sonechka (Сонечка) published in Novy Mir in 1992 almost immediately became extremely popular, and was shortlisted for the Russian Booker Award.

 Anti-Sentimentalism from a Sentimental Author   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Lyudmila Ulitskaya, the darling of middle-aged female Russian emigres, published her new novel Iskrenne Vash Shurik (Sincerely Yours Shurik) in 2004, causing quite a furor in a crowd that was expecting a healthy dose of the same nostalgia that permeated her earlier works, such as Veselye Pokhorony (The Funeral Party).
It is fair to say that with her new novel, Ulitskaya has undergone a radical creative transformation, drawing away from the quiet, affectionate irony that formerly epitomized her characterizations and moving towards a pitiless indictment of the entire “Old World” and its values, mores, and traditions.
Ulitskaya builds it all up to a height of anticipation, and, were it not for the last chapter in which she demolishes everything, this might have been one of her previous works, ending on a suitably ambiguous note.

 Granddaughter of Russian classic author Alexei Tolstoy, writer Tatyana Tolstaya became TV show-woman - Pravda.Ru
Uncomplicated sentimental novels by Victoria Tokareva (the only writer of this genre at that time) were not valued much by educated public, the stories by Lyudmila Petrushevskaya seemed asexual and cold, and the idea of the real “quality” prose bearing female outlook seemed attractive, but unrealistic.
For this reason new writer Tatyana Tolstaya from the family of long-standing writing traditions, the well and broadly educated person (she graduated from the Department of Philology of Leningrad University and worked at the Oriental Literature Department of Nauka Publishing House for 8 years), started a new stage in Russian literature.
By poeticizing Soviet life routine, Tolstaya brought new feelings into the stale symbols and elaborated special female style developed later by Lyudmila Ulitskaya and Marina Vishnevetskaya, Svetlana Shenbrunn and Margarita Meklina.

Ulitskaya is a rare bird in Russia's modern literary landscape.
This might be my opinion, but when I read Ulitskaya, I find that she describes people who exist in real life: good-natured old ladies, hard-drinking working-class men, neophyte Orthodox believers on the verge of hysteria, bums, professors and bookstore owners.

On the one hand, she is acutely aware of everything that has happened in world literature during the last century or so, and this is evident on any page of her writing.
On the other hand, she is still compelled by that old-fashioned desire to tell a story, which makes her books immensely more readable than those of many other writers of comparable caliber.
Moreover, Ulitskaya is only interested in a handful of subjects, yet she still manages to find new ways to treat them, avoiding repetition.
