Elena Nikitina, born in Russia during the Soviet Union, embarked on a remarkable journey to the USA, where she sought political asylum and became a citizen in 2019. Her debut memoir, "GIRL, TAKEN," published in 2017, vividly recounts her harrowing experiences. Abducted by a gang in 1994, Elena endured eight months of captivity before escaping, surviving the First Russian-Chechen War. Within two years, "GIRL, TAKEN" became a bestseller, earning a prestigious literary award. Elena's captivating story reached global audiences through a leading radio documentary on the BBC World Service, while local news and a talk show in London, UK, also acknowledged her book's impact. Beyond writing, Elena translates and narrates a diverse range of books and audios.
