ULITSKAYA Ludmila E.

Ludmila E. Ulitskaya was born in 1943 in the city Davlekanovo Bashkir ASSR, a biologist by education in genetics that does not prevent her to become a famous writer. All stories Ulitskaya based on her personal life experiences or told to the words of friends, acquaintances, neighbors, relatives. Her biography is could serve as material for a book. She was thrice married, to each husband, she can tell her story.
The first time she marries, as a student, a student Fizteha Yuri Thais. Ulitskaya admits that it was a real student marriage, that is, they did not have these problems: they were still children of their parents, but lived in a separate apartment. The marriage broke up because of the constant explanation of the relationship: one of them more important in the family, one of them first.
The most important and difficult decisions in my life Ulitskaya considers divorce from her second husband - the father of her two young children. First, when you realize that the marriage has ceased to exist, but have only one joint cohabitation, then try to adjust, but that it is very difficult to live under one roof two totally strangers. Also considered Ulitskaya: "... During the ten years of our marriage has fundamentally changed the nature of our relationship. At first, I was home, smart, wonderful wife. During the nine years that I was sitting at home, I became a housewife, as I thought my husband. And his behavior was based on the fact that he is thriving scientist, but I - housewife. It was his model of the family - she was in his parents' house, and he was a good example of me. I knew it and smiled slightly - I knew that my God was released not less than him. "
. After the divorce Ulitskaya trying to find a job that she could combine with caring for children, but because for a long time, its scientific specialization was no longer valid, it could only work as a laboratory
. At this point it comes to the rescue girlfriend, who worked as a painter at the Jewish Theater. She met with an artist Sherling, who wanted to put a play about Jewish history, Bar - Kochba. Ulitskaya keep the conversation going, since she herself, being a housewife, read about it. Sherling was shaken knowledge of this woman and offered work zavlitom in their own theater, where she worked for three years.
Third husband, whom now live Ulitskaya, came into her life "with difficulty". The writer says with irony that after such novels, what was with them, usually do not end in marriage, but now they are married and now live together one soul.
