Roman Valeryevich Wolch (Roman Valerievich Volkov)

Roman Valeryevich Wolch, also known as Roman Valerievich Volkov, is a director, screenwriter, and theater actor born on June 22, 1979, in Pense City. He has been active in the literary world since his childhood, writing poetry and engaging in artistic reading.

Wolch graduated from High School No. 4 (now known as Gymnasium No. 4 "Steps") in 1996 and later attended the Penza Agricultural Academy's Faculty of Economics in 2001. However, it was during a writers' seminar at Peredelkino that he met Rimma Kazakova, who advised him to enroll in the Moscow Literary Institute named after Gorky (Faculty of Literary Creativity; Department of Prose). This marked the beginning of his literary career.

Wolch's hometown, Pense City, is frequently mentioned as a place of events and action in his books. His experiences at Gymnasium No. 4 are also reflected in his writing, particularly in "Legends of Gymnasium No. 4," which was published in 2014. The book is based on the school folklore of his native educational institution, with the names of teachers remaining unchanged.

In addition to his literary pursuits, Wolch has worked as a control director in the Pensa Ministry and currently serves as a copywriter in the advertising industry, producing video and audio content for various clients. He is also the principal director of the home studio Vargtroms, where he creates voiceovers for audiobooks.

Wolch's personal life includes his marriage to an unspecified partner and two children. In 2013, he relocated to Korolev (Moscow region), where he currently resides.

As a writer, Wolch has published several novels through Eksmo and AST publishing houses. His works include "Sermy tale" ("Banner," 2002/3), which was translated into Swedish under the title "Discovery of the Millennium." In addition to his own name, Wolch also uses the alias "Roman Matrocine" for detective fiction.

Wolch has been open about his support for Russia's efforts in the war against Ukraine.
