The modern Israeli writer Dina Rubina is well known to the reading public in Russia and throughout the post-Soviet space. The best books, reviews and reviews of them are constantly in the center of attention of all those who are not indifferent to literature in Russian. And it is not so important in which country it is created.

Ruby Dina: Biography Facts

The biography of the future writer began in Tashkent. It was in the capital of Soviet Uzbekistan that Rubina Dina Ilyinichna was born in 1953. The choice of the life path of the future writer was largely predetermined by his upbringing in an intelligent family. Her parents were the famous Soviet artist Ilya Rubin and music teacher Margarita Zhukovskaya.

Before Rubin came to literature, Dina graduated from the conservatory and taught. Everything related to music will be reflected in the literary work of the young musician in the future.

Into great literature

The path to success in any field of artistic creation is rarely easy. Often years pass before the author manages to see the results of his work published and feel the recognition of the public. But Rubina Dean is an exception to this rule. Her literary talent wasnoticed very early. Public recognition has already received debut publications in the magazine "Youth". Readers appreciated the short witty stories, under which there was a signature - Dean Rubin. Reviews about them came to the editorial office and were published on the discussion page of what they read.

The story "When will it snow?" was even more successful. This work was filmed on television, a play based on it was staged in many theaters of the country.

In Moscow

The success of the first works allowed the young writer to move to the capital of the Soviet Union, where her professional career had a successful continuation. Dina Rubina, whose best books had not yet been written in those years, received recognition from literary criticism. Many of them noted that a new author came to Russian literature with his own images, meanings and bright unique style of their embodiment. All this allowed Dina Rubina to become the youngest member of the Union of Soviet Writers. She publishes widely in the most prestigious periodical literary magazines, publishes new books, writes scripts for cinema. The writer's creative plans are hindered only by the crisis that began in the country, which subsequently led to the collapse of the Soviet Union.

In those years, a lot of people were somehow not up to literature, not to theater, not to scripts and not to cinematography. And Dina Rubina decides to take such a serious step as emigration to the historical homeland of her ancestors,to Israel. Of course, she was not alone in this choice. In the nineties, the flow of emigrants to this country from all the territories of the former USSR reached a record level.

In Israel

A small country on the Mediterranean coast in the nineties received many repatriates from all over the former Soviet Union. The flow of new people has greatly changed the very face of this country. Even earlier, the poet Vladimir Vysotsky ironically noted that "there is a quarter of our former people." And today, Russian speech is heard everywhere in the historical homeland of the Jews. They are not going to give it up. It is a well-known fact that literature in Russian exists and is successfully developing in Israel. And one of her brightest stars, of course, is Dina Rubina. The best books, reviews and reviews of the works of this author are constantly on the front pages of all Russian-language publications, from Haifa to Beersheba.

It should be noted that professional competition in this area in Israel is very high. It so happened that many former members of the Union of Soviet Writers successfully live and work in this small country. And not all of them have withstood such a test of creative competition with such dignity as Dina Rubina. Reviews about her work among colleagues in the craft are positive and even enthusiastic. It is unanimously noted that few people managed to reflect in their works the life experience of a new generation of repatriates with such expressiveness.
