Twenty-five years ago, Nadezhda was deprived of her parental rights by her own mother, who took in her daughter's three children and raised them herself. Their grandmother became the one bright memory of their childhood.
She has long since passed away, but Nadezhda's children still remember the years they spent growing up without their mother.
Born in the Amur Region. She graduated from the Academy of Media Industry with a degree in Directing for Television Films and Programs (2022) and from the Higher Courses for Scriptwriters and Film Directors (2023, Documentary Film Workshop).
