Lena, the only child in the house, received everything she needed for harmonious development. At the age of three, the father was transferred to Almaty, where the whole family moved.
When Elena was in fifth grade, her father received a new position in Moscow. The capital greeted the girl warmly. In a school with in-depth study of the humanities, she studied well. Her favorite subjects were chemistry and biology. At the same time, she easily memorized poems of classics and modern poets.

However, without notifying the parents, she went and successfully passed the creative competition at GITIS.
