Julia Voznesenskaya
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Julia Voznesenskaya (Russian: Юлия Вознесенская; born 1940 in Leningrad) is a Russian author.
In 1976 Voznesenskaya was sentenced to four years of exile for Anti-Soviet Propaganda. In 1980 she emigrated to Germany. In 1996-1999 she lived in Lesninsky Russian Orthodox Convent in Chauvincourt-Provemont, Normandy, France. Since 2002 she has lived in Berlin.
Her works include The Star Chernobyl, about three sisters involved in the Chernobyl disaster; and her first novel, The Women's Decameron, about ten pregnant women in a maternity ward who are quarantined for ten days and - inspired by The Decameron - decide to tell ten stories each day, about life in 1980s Russia. My After-death Adventures (Мои посмертные приключения) is devoted to life after death. She is a laureate of the prize Orthodox Christian Book of Russia (Православная книга России) and Alye Parusa. Her book series about the girl named Yuliana started with Yuliana or Dangerous Games is sometimes classified as anti-Potter since she supposedly supports the Christian faith instead of witchcraft and magic.
