Writing creatively in Russian under the name Olga Simonova-Partan, I am the author of You Were Right, Filumena!, a work of creative nonfiction that interweaves my family history with the artistic milieu of Moscow, centering on the love story of my parents.   My short fiction has appeared in literary publications across Russia, the United States, and Canada, often exploring memory, cultural identity, and the complexities of human relationships.   I am currently preparing a collection of short stories, tentatively titled Fantasies of the Old and New Worlds, which further develops my interest in cross-cultural perspectives and imaginative narrative forms.
