Svetlana Vasilenko
Life
Svetlana Vasilenko was born in 1956 in Kapustin Yar, an airbase built next to a cosmodrome on the Volga River. She grew up in an all-female household within this "male militarist environment" before studying at the Gorky Literary Institute, where she graduated in 1983. Though her first publication, 'Going after Goat Antelopes, received critical acclaim, it took her six years to achieve publication again. As a reaction to what she saw as the discriminatory policies of male editors. Vasilenko co-founded a feminist literary group, The New Amazons, who published anthologies of women's prose in 1990 and 1991.[1]
Her 1998 novel Little Fool follows a 13-year-old girl growing up in Kapustin Yar at the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis. She is doubled by Ganna, a 13-year-old girl in an embedded story, who lives in 1930s Kapustin Yar, where the village inhabitants are Christians persecuted for their beliefs by the local communist regime.[1]
