And readers are unlikely to forgive if she pauses creativity, because they are used to waiting for a woman to tell a new story about themselves - ordinary, strange, funny and saddening. The author has dozens of novels and stories that do not claim to be the ultimate truth and do not teach how to live, but fascinatingly and vividly tell about the most ordinary things that, under the eyes of the writer, acquire a unique charm.

Masha was born on October 8, 1976 in Moscow, but spent her childhood against the background of the Caucasus Mountains, in an Ossetian village. Traub is a creative pseudonym, the real name of Maria is Kiselev.

The girl absorbed love for the word from a young age. Here the influence of my grandmother is great, she has worked in the regional newspaper all her life. The writer says that she grew up in the editorial office under the sound of a typewriter and absorbed the romance of a typography, where streams of new words appeared on sheets of white paper right before our eyes. The most important impression of childhood was a fairy tale published on the pages of the "district", which was written by a young writer.

The Kiselev family had a chance to live in the Far North, but in the end they returned to Moscow, where the girl began to attend courses at the Literary Institute, having ended up in the workshop of Yuri Levitansky. A creative atmosphere reigned here, where young people wrote poetry and could not imagine themselves without poetry. However, Masha decided that she would choose a different path, and entered a journalist. At the same time, she chose the university on the advice of her mother, who dreamed of her daughter studying at MGIMO.

It was difficult to pass the competition, but the applicant put all her desire and passion into this business. In an interview, the writer said that at the exam she even sang and danced Caucasian dances and, as a result, won the admissions committee with her eccentricity. So, 5 years later, Maria became an international journalist who speaks two languages ​​- English and French.

While still a student, the girl began to work, because she did not doubt that she had to provide for herself. Independence was also encouraged by her parents, who allowed Masha to live separately from the age of 16. After graduating from the institute, Maria began to cooperate with the metropolitan publications, including Izvestia, Novoye Vremya, Nedelya. I also managed to work in gloss - Bosco Magazine and Officiel.

Traub's biography as a writer began with the book Get Ready, We're Leaving, published in 2006. Here you can clearly hear the autobiographical notes characteristic of subsequent work. Masha writes about women - lucky and lost, funny and touching, looking for happiness and groping for support in life. Recognizable heroes, everyday situations, the prose of life as it is - this is what attracts Traub's work, as well as a light syllable, sincerity and a sense of humor.

Each subsequent book of Mary was in demand with the reader, and the woman writes several volumes a year, coming up with a sequel to some stories. In 2008, "All la vie" was released, and a year later two novels - "The Diary of a First Grader's Mother" and "House in the South", and both later formed the basis of film adaptations.

According to the first book, Andrei Silkin shot a family melodrama with Svetlana Khodchenkova in the title role. And based on the "House" Vera Storozheva staged the comedy "House for rent with all the inconveniences."

The writer is close to the theme of childhood, and the works "Through the eyes of a child", "What babies talk about", "Lesha the clown" meet the constant reader's response. Not all of the author's stories are sweet and touching, as evidenced by the novel "Keyhole", which reveals Traub as a master of a complex story with a double bottom.

Maria presents stories about difficult destinies simply and convincingly, as in the book “I owe nothing to anyone”. The bibliography of Masha Traub is numbered in dozens of works, including "On the Verge of Divorce", "My Grandmother - Lermontov", "Second Life".

Masha Traub makes no secret of her personal life, and photos of her family can be easily found on the Internet. With her husband Andrei Kolesnikov they were united by a common cause: a man - writer and journalist, works as editor of Novaya Gazeta and writes columns in Vedomosti and Gazeta.ru. The couple have been together for many years and are raising two children. Maria borrowed her pseudonym from her mother-in-law, whose maiden name is Traub. This word is translated into Russian as "vine" or "bunch".

Masha gave birth to her first child, son Vasily, at the age of 24, and 9 years later, Seraphim was born. The birth of children contributed to the fact that Maria switched from journalism to writing. Having given birth to her first child, the woman decided to devote herself to her family and left work. However, she could not sit around and began to write fiction.

True, her fellow journalists never left her alone, and she agreed to collaborate with periodicals as a columnist. Since then, Maria has been combining two things, not forgetting about the hearth. First of all, prepare dinner, and then sit down to write. Traub considers herself a demanding mother. In her house, lunch is strictly scheduled, and the children always know that all things have their place.

However, she never has to be reminded of respect and mutual concern. Now my son is studying at the Physics Department of Moscow State University, and my daughter goes to school and does rhythmic gymnastics. A woman has the most trusting relationship with her husband's son from her first marriage, and she considers him a full-fledged member of the family.

Sports and an active social life save children from gadgets, which Maria considers unhelpful hobby. She herself uses a computer for work, and a telephone - mainly for calls. But the woman still maintains a page on Instagram to share life observations and quotes from her own books with subscribers.

Masha Traub does not leave her writing career, publishing 2-3 books a year. Her office is in the kitchen, where there is a chair that no one else touches. Sitting on it in front of the dining table, the author composes new stories under the slamming of the refrigerator door and the gurgling of pots. This atmosphere is the most creative and rewarding for the writer.
