Born May 26, 1938, Moscow - Russian prose writer, singer, poetess, playwright.
The granddaughter of the linguist N.F. Yakovlev, the creator of writing systems for a number of peoples of the USSR. During wartime, she lived with relatives, as well as in an orphanage near Ufa.
After the war she returned to Moscow, graduated from the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University. She worked as a correspondent for Moscow newspapers, an employee of publishing houses, since 1972 - an editor at the Central Television Studio.
Petrushevskaya early began to write poetry, write scripts for student evenings, without seriously thinking about writing.
The first published work of the author was the story "Through the Fields", which appeared in 1972 in the magazine "Aurora". Since that time, Petrushevskaya's prose has not been published for more than a decade. It began to be published only during the "perestroika" .
The very first plays were noticed by amateur theaters: the play "Music Lessons" (1973) was staged in 1979 by R. Viktyuk at the theater-studio of the House of Culture "Moskvorechye", as well as by V. Golikov at the theater-studio of Leningrad State University and was almost immediately banned (published only in 1983) .
The production of Cinzano was staged by the Gaudeamus Theater in Lviv. Professional theaters began to stage plays by Petrushevskaya in the 1980s: the one-act play "Love" at the Taganka Theater, "Columbine's Apartment" at the Sovremennik, "Moscow Choir" at the Moscow Art Theater. For a long time, the writer had to work "on the table" - the editorial staff could not publish stories and plays about the "shadow sides of life". She did not stop working, creating joke plays (Andante, Columbine's Apartment), dialogue plays (A Glass of Water, Isolated Boxing), a monologue play (Songs of the XX century, which gave the name to the collection of her dramatic works ).
