Herman Sadulayev: A Prominent Russian-Chechen Writer
Early Life and EducationHerman Sadulayev, born in 1973 in the village of Shali, Chechnya, is a Russian novelist and lawyer of Chechen descent. His father was Chechen, and his mother was a Terek Cossack. After studying in Grozny, Sadulayev ventured to Leningrad in 1989 to pursue journalism at the university. However, he ultimately decided to study law instead. He currently resides and works in Saint Petersburg.
Literary Debut and Breakthrough
Sadulayev's first literary work, the novella "One Swallow Does Not Make a Spring," was written in 2001 and initially disseminated online. It was also sent to various publishers, but only Ilya Kormiltsev expressed interest. Kormiltsev promised to publish Sadulayev's work if he wrote additional stories. This agreement culminated in the 2006 release of "I Am a Chechen!" by Kormiltsev's publishing house, "Ultra. Culture." The book consisted of nine short stories and novellas inspired by the Chechen Wars and Sadulayev's own experiences.
Autobiographical and Political Works
Subsequent years saw the publication of several notable works, including the 2008 semi-autobiographical novel "Tablet," which was shortlisted for the Russian Booker Prize. In June 2009, Sadulayev released the novel "AD," which GQ magazine declared the book of the month.
In 2010, Sadulayev joined the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF). According to the website of the Saint Petersburg branch of the CPRF, he belongs to the party organization in the Nevsky district.

In addition to those mentioned above, Sadulayev has published a range of other works, including:
