Nina Alexandrovna Dudarova (Russian: Нина Александровна Дударова; Saint Petersburg, 1903 – Moscow, 1992) was a Roma poet, teacher, writer and translator.
There was a large amount of Romani literature written in this alphabet (over 300 books between 1927 and 1938[1]); however, this influence fell in a comparatively limited circle, mainly in Moscow and several towns in the USSR, and ended in 1938 when the official Soviet Roma policy changed from treating the Roma as a separate people who should develop as a constituent element of Soviet society to integrationism.
At this time, she also helped translate the works of Alexander Pushkin into Romani and directed the Loly Cheren (Red Star) cultural and social club.
She travelled the country to give lectures on education, the alleged misdeeds of religions, hygiene and women's rights.
After World War II, the Soviet Union renounced all programs in Romani and Dudarova fell into anonymity.
