Olga Nikolaevna Gromyko(September 13, 1978, Vinnitsa, Ukraine) - writer. Born at midnight from September 13 to 14, 1978. Graduated from the Belarusian State University with a degree in microbiology. Works at one of the research institutes in Minsk. Married, has a son. He hates cleaning, but he loves to surf the web. She mastered a lot of professions - from a janitor to a gas welder. Hobbies include growing bulbous plants, fishing, traveling anywhere and on anything, raising a child and husband, as well as collecting mugs and beer labels. He dreams of traveling around the world “to all countries and tropical islands.”
Writes books in the genre of humorous fantasy. Published since 2003.
Author of the Belorian cycle about the witch Volkha (“Profession: witch”; “Guardian Witch”; “Supreme Witch”; “Witch Tales”) and stories based on Russian folk tales: “Say a word for poor Koshchei” and “To whom in the New Kingdom to live well". In June, the Armada publishing house will publish Olga Gromyko's fifth book, Faithful Enemies. In addition, a huge number of her tales and stories can be found in her LiveJournal and on the website.
The novel “Profession: Witch” at the international festival “Star Bridge-2003” (Kharkov) received the “Alpha-Kniga Publishing House” (Armada) “Sword Without a Name” prize for the best debut novel in the genre of humorous and action-packed fiction.
Olga Gromyko's works are distinguished by irony, sometimes turning into sarcasm. The main characters of her books are characters that in traditional fantasy are classified as negative: witches, vampires, dragons, trolls, manticores and others. But in general, her works leave a good impression. The plot in her books is always interesting, they are easy to read, and hook you from the very first lines.
Olga about herself:
Gromyko Olga Nikolaevna. I don’t know how real this surname is, but after twenty-three years I’ve gotten used to it, so let my beloved husband immortalize his own. She was born exactly at midnight from September 13 to 14, 1978, in the city of Vinnitsa, Ukraine. At the moment she is from Minsk and Belarusian. After serving the required time at BSU, I graduated from microbiology and work at a research institute as a laboratory assistant.
I can distinguish three periods in my creativity - a frightening poetic period (from 4 to 12 years old, creepy poems about bunnies eaten by wolves and sad cornflowers), an entertaining writer (from 14 to 18 years old, friends and magazine editors who read this nonsense had fun) and a professional writer ( from 18 to this day, full of ambitious plans with more or less successful implementation). On the internet I’m fiddling around on my website http://volha.ru The most frequently used nicknames are Witch and Volha. You can soap your neck at [email protected]
There are so many hobbies that not a single one is completed.
Favorite movie is definitely The Lord of the Rings in the Goblin translation.
The most often included music is folk and enigmatic, although I listen to almost everything.
At the MIBF, the Minsk master of sarcastic fantasy, beloved by thousands of fans, “the main red-haired witch of the CIS countries,” met with her readers.
VBP (which, as all her fans know, means “The Great Belorian Writer”) has not yet presented a new book, but she hinted that the post on her LiveJournal dated April 1 was not a hoax.
As always in the case of Olga, there was little space for her readers, and a crowd of admirers gathered around the Alpha Book stand, eager for answers to all questions and autographs for books that had already been read many times.
Olga held the meeting in her usual cheerful atmosphere: she told a sad story about blackbirds - about how she was offered to film her books and what came of it, or rather, nothing came of it. " Therefore, rather than have bad film adaptations, it is better to let books remain the standard", says the writer.
The eternal question of where inspiration comes from was posed in a new way this time: “How are your worlds born, because yours are so different”
“It seems to me that there is no writer without spunk,” Olga replies. “My worlds either come on their own or are born in pain over several days or even weeks.”
– Do you like to kill your heroes?
- I like to scare them. But seriously, I feel sorry for killing heroes. I myself do not reread books in which characters die, but I want people to reread my books, although I never do this myself. This is about the question of why there won’t be a sequel to “Year of the Rat” - because I don’t remember what it’s about. I feel sorry for my heroes, even last time I thought for a long time that if I kill a character in one of the stories, it would be very, very strong, but in the end all my friends asked me to let him live, and I obeyed. Even myself somehow felt better.
– In your last series of space fiction, many alien races were described. Have you ever thought that their mentality and characteristics resemble the peoples of planet Earth?
– No, I never thought about it. Two races were written from specific peoples - the Avshurs (from the Jews) and the Shoars (from the Chinese), the rest were invented in accordance with my knowledge of microbiology, because nature created everything before me, I just experiment a little. But perhaps there are some archetypes and information fields at work, there’s no getting around that.
It was quite natural to ask why, having written a book about rats, Olga does not write about cats, of which she has four, to which she explained: “ I like to write about things that haven’t been written about before, but I won’t say anything new. When I wrote about Volkha, there were no such stories and characters yet. It's full of them now. Then I went into space science fiction, because such characters were once written about in Soviet times, but for some reason they are long gone. Now, I see that the trail is already following me too. Now I’m looking for somewhere to go again...»
When asked about the age of the audience, Olga answered: “ I write primarily for myself, and therefore as I grow up, so does my audience. Now, if you open books for teenagers, it’s clear that I can’t write like that anymore, and therefore my audience, apparently, has already matured, from 25-30 years old, because I always write what would be interesting for me to read».
Olga’s favorite characters change from book to book, especially if the narration is in the third person: “ If I write in the first person, then I love this particular character, such were Volkha and Shelena in the Belor cycle. In “Kamalein Flower” my alter ego was Arkhain, in “Year of the Rat” Alk, they say he was especially successful for me. In the cosmic cycle - first there was Dan, then Stas, now there’s Kay... But you don’t know him yet...»
Remembering her last collection of stories, Olga was surprised that throughout her entire writing career, after 15 published books and several awards at science fiction festivals, literary critics noticed her only recently, after the release of her last collection of stories, which included the story “Kitty”.
« It's amazing how much chernukha is valued now. Such texts are much easier to write than humorous and light ones. What’s so difficult about it – smearing tears across the page, although I myself didn’t shed a tear over this text. I'm hardened by rats. I had a lot of rats, but they don’t live long, so I look at my current cats as long-lived rats and wonder: oh, is he still alive? Therefore, this text did not really touch me, although I understand that it is strong. I can write such texts, but I want to write something similar, something light and funny, so that the reader, after thinking a little about the text in one place, can relax and laugh in another, but it’s much more difficult to come up with jokes and funny remarks and situations».
– Would you like to work with anyone? With Aristotle, with Proust?
- With Tolstoy. Leo. He had volumes! We would have become friends with him! But, seriously speaking, I don’t want to work with anyone else anymore. I had an interesting but difficult experience of co-authoring with Andrei Ulanov, for whom I rewrote a good half of his part of the book, so it’s easier for me to work alone.

And Kira has to make a difficult decision, and the “Space Brain Eater” team has to help implement it.
Author: Olga Gromyko Title: Cosmoluhi: nearby. Volume 1 Series: Cosmobiolukhi: Cosmobiolukhi: nearby Book number in the series: 1 Year: 2017 ISBN: 978-5-9922-2572-3 Abstract of the book “Cosmobiolukhi: nearby. Volume 1: Sometimes victory brings more problems than defeat: the DEX company is destroyed, intelligent cyborgs are officially equal to people, and the society for the protection of cyborgs, led by Kira Gibulskaya, is feverishly trying to cope with the “happiness” that has fallen upon it. After all, cyborgs, like people, are completely different, and everyone needs to find their own approach, which sometimes even the best psychologists fail to do. In addition, not all cyborgs are happy about the freedom that has overtaken them and do not want to sell their beliefs for a box of cookies, a pot of cocoa, or a volume of Basho’s poems. Moreover, even the couple who have already managed to be placed in reliable hands continues to break out numbers, adding gray hair to Stanislav Petukhov, and more adventures to the “Space Brain Eater”!
Authors: Olga Gromyko, Andrey Ulanov Year: 2007 A couple of young people, Lena, an inspector of the State Snow Protection Service and her partner, a former military man who has visited hot spots, the main characters of the book “Plus by Minus” in the joint creative tandem of Olga Gromyko and Andrey Ulanov. The main idea of the work is to find mutual understanding between partners. Our heroes have their own habits, individual desires, different characters. That’s why it’s very difficult for them to find a common language when misunderstanding and irritation grip the main characters. But they are young, and doing a common task together, they begin to understand each other perfectly and read each other’s eyes. And when they start hunting you and it becomes very scary, only your partner’s back will protect you from danger. A dashingly twisted plot with chases and fights, light and kind humor complement the novel and make it exciting and interesting for the reader to read.
Author: Olga Gromyko Year: 2006 Already the first phrase of Olga Gromyko’s book “True Enemies” clearly states that the novel belongs to the fantasy genre. There really are sorcerers, werewolves, dragons... and a whole bunch of different fairy-tale creatures. The fairy-tale world is inhabited by two main characters of the book - sworn enemies, each of whom wishes the death of the other. The two central characters are complete opposites, but at the same time very similar to each other. Their fates coincide in many ways, only they are on different sides of the barricades. Both are accustomed to not trusting people, not to get too close to anyone - so as not to get burned later. Taught by bitter experience, they are afraid to love, make friends, and have family feelings. They just act differently. Shelena has learned to lie - she simply does not believe that anyone can accept the truth. Every day she wears a mask with a sweet smile, pretending to be something she is not. Veres stubbornly lifts his head to look everyone in the eye - he does not want to pretend and hide. In his opinion, it is better to endure the blows of fate, but not to bend, turning out from under the raised hand. Even if the blow promises to be fatal.
