Oksana Sultanova biography

Oksana Sultanova: “The main thing is that it was loved and wanted to devote his life to him” Author: Asya Huseynova Photo: poetess Oksana Sultanova from Dagestan. She became known thanks to her poems and love for medicine. Today her blog has thousands of subscribers. How a girl manages to combine creativity, motherhood, design and work in medicine, she told in an interview with RIA Dagestan to the news agency.

Tell us more about this. In the year, she took part in the International Literary Festival "Aelita", where for merits before literature I received my first award - a medal. The second medal - Peter I - for his contribution to literature in Russia and abroad I received for the book "When your hand is in my hand." I am also the winner of the Caspian International Festival for contribution to the author’s poetry, as well as the contest “Talent of the Year”, which was held in Astrakhan.

Do you write about what excites you or society? These are poems about love, the Almighty, which some readers call “prayers”, poems-thoughts, lyrics, in addition, sometimes I write poems based on the stories of my readers and subscribers. I am concerned about everything that happens around.

Especially affect and inspire the rather sad things taking place in the world. The situation in Ukraine also influenced my work, I have written many poems in support of our troops and children in the zone of special operation. Tell us about them. The first - the "lunar angel" - came out in the year quite by accident. At that time, I worked as a cardiologist at the Rutul Central District Hospital, the honored poet of Dagestan came to our reception.

I told him that I was writing poems, offered to read them, give an assessment and at the same time decide for myself whether it is worth doing this. Of course, I was in shock. But already in the year I released an audiobook where I recorded 90 of my works with musical accompaniment. In the year, a book called “when your hand is in my hand”, and then “passwords”.

Now I am preparing the fifth collection. I think that at the end of this year he will be published. Why are your poems not left indifferent? I was very shy about showing my work, I was afraid of condemnation, because there are very few female poets in Dagestan, in our Rutul you can count them on the fingers. However, I still decided. I remember how the Muslim poem published her poem, which caused many positive and negative reviews, but nevertheless gained more than three thousand views, which was a great shock for me.

It was from this that I began to publish my poems. I began to invite me to “open microphones”, events, city squares, thanks to the verses, I was able to gain fame. It is very pleasant that my work is read and listened not only in Russia, but also in Ireland, Istanbul, Germany. These listeners always leave their comments with special enthusiasm after the verses read.

By the way, they were translated into Turkish, Arabic, Spanish, and this is very valuable for me. Why don't my poems leave indifferent people? When I was just starting my way, I came to the Union of Russian Writers and brought my poems to the court, they told me that some of them have no interesting descriptions, but they have a soul and every poem has a story.

I write to convey the emotions, feelings that I experience, and indeed any person. Therefore, I can safely say that in my poems there is a soul, these are not just letters on a leaf, but my soul. How it happened that you live two completely different elements - medicine and poetry. Or, in your opinion, do they intersect? In addition to poetry, I am engaged in design - I have my own brand of clothing “Anatomy of the Oksana Sultanova style”, I am a member of the Public Chamber, the head of the youth wing under the Dagestan society in the Astrakhan region, the head of the women's wing of the International Association of Islamic Business and the founder of the charity fund.

It seems to me that a person should not limit himself to one profession, our life is so multifaceted, and a sin would live only in one thing. The main thing is that the matter is loved and would like to devote his time and life to him. Songs that many Dagestan singers perform are formed on my poems. I hope that this year I will succeed.
