I sometimes feel connected
Between those who are alive
And who is taken away by the war
The origins
Muscovite Drunina, whose biography began on May 10, 1924 and ended on November 21, 1991, grew up in a family of Soviet intellectuals: a history teacher and musician. As a child, she was read by the books of A. Dumas and L. Charskaya. In them she gleaned the ideas of romance, chivalry, courage and struggle, carrying them through her whole life.
She began to engage in creativity early, mainly her poems were used to decorate school wall newspapers, but young Julia could already feel the taste of fame. And when one of the poems was published in Teacher's Newspaper, the joy of the child knew no bounds.
Happy youth was cut short by war. The joy of the prom was crossed out by a terrible message. The harsh reality instantly knocked out the poems of the beginning poet "and gypsies, and cowboys, and pampas with stripes, and beautiful ladies." Now the heroes of the works are those with whom her front-line life has passed side by side.
"I only saw melee
"
Guided by patriotic impulses, Julia strove to become a useful country in a dashing year. The girl even went to fake documents, and, having attributed herself a year, got a job as a nurse, then she graduated from nursing courses. In the fall of the 41st, when the enemy was eager for Moscow, she and her friends were sent to build defense fortifications near Mozhaisk. During the next raid, many of the group died, and Julia, slightly shell-shocked, was lost and was picked up by a group of soldiers with whom her front-line life began.
Having escaped from the encirclement and again falling into the capital, she leaves for evacuation with her father, who needs care after a stroke. But it is unbearable to sit out in the rear. When her father was gone, she does everything possible to again be in a combat situation.
In the 43rd, due to a serious wound, she was commissioned for disability, and the front-line worker again ended up in Moscow. She makes an attempt to enter the Literary Institute, but the commission did not like her poems, she is denied.
But the medical commission recognizes its possible return to the front. Then again the concussion and the final “white ticket”.
In the 44th, which came in the middle of the educational process in a darn overcoat and tarpaulin boots to a front-line soldier and a disabled person of military operations, no one was able to prohibit studies at the institute. At first, however, a free listener.
Creative way
For a number of reasons, she was able to graduate only in the 52nd. In the victorious 45th, for the first time, verses by Drunina, created from front-line memoirs, are printed.
In the 47th, Yulia Vladimirovna became a member of the Writers' Union. Her financial situation is getting better and most importantly - now it is possible to produce collections.

Along with poems, Yulia Drunina also publishes two novels and journalism. She does a lot of public work, travels abroad, meets with readers.
Drunin accepts the ongoing restructuring with all his heart and supports. In the 90th he became a deputy of the Supreme Council, trying by his actions to improve the situation of former front-line soldiers and participants in the Afghan war. Realizing the futility of the fight against businessmen with "iron elbows" ceases to attend meetings and leaves the government.
