Elena Chizhova Book order

Elena Chizhova, a former economist and entrepreneur, turned to writing after a dramatic rescue from a burning cruise ship. Her prose eschews artifice for emotional honesty, delving into the raw wounds of Russian history that contemporary culture might prefer to overlook. She writes with a compelling urgency, exploring the secret culture of resistance and remembrance among Russian women across generations. As director of the St. Petersburg PEN center, she remains deeply connected to the literary landscape.
