Life

Raissa Tschachmachtschewa was born in Baku in 1930/1931 to a Jewish mother and an Armenian father and moved with the family to Moscow in 1937. During the "Great Patriotic War" she lived in Bashkiria and Stalingrad. After the Second World War, she studied economic geography at Lomonossow University in Moscow and then worked as a geographer and economist. She met Semjon-Jevsej Biller (born 1931 in Kunzewo near Moscow; died in July 2017 in Hamburg), whose parents came from Bohemia . In December 1954 she gave birth to her daughter Elena in Moscow .

In the 1950s the family left the Soviet Union and moved to Prague. There she gave birth to her son Maxim Biller in August 1960 .

Around two years after the crackdown on the Prague Spring , the Biller family emigrated to Hamburg because in 1970 the husband got a job as a translator and interpreter there. There she conducted research at the Institute for Foreign Trade and Overseas Economics at the University of Hamburg and wrote several scientific monographs as Raissa Tchakhmakhtcheva .

As early as the 1960s, she began to write prose sketches, short stories and memoirs in her native Russian. She made her debut as a writer at the age of around 72 with the autobiographical novel Melonenschale , which was published in 2003 by Berlin Verlag . The second edition came in 2005 from Piper Verlag in the book trade. In 2007, the novel Lina and the others followed, and in 2011, the short story volume My Seven Names and Me . Rada Biller was a long-time member of the Hamburg Jewish Community .

Rada Biller died at the age of 88 in Hamburg, where she lived for five decades. The burial took place in the New Jewish Cemetery in Prague , where the husband Semjon-Jevsej Biller was buried in the summer of 2017.
