"On the Upper Scissors"
 

At the weekend finished reading "On the Upper Scissors" by Dina Rubina. Who read Rubin and knows workshops on Maslovka share, please considerations - was in the heroine of a real prototype, or is it just really the author's fiction? It really is an extraordinary character (as, indeed, most of the main characters in ruby).

Was.
Dina Ilinichna answered as: The prototype Anna Borisovny from the story "On the Upper Scissors" really is: a sculptor Nina Ilinichna Nissen-Goldman.
