Palei’s first published fiction was a short story, “Composition on Red and Blue” (later renamed “Virage”). The story was printed in “Sobesednik” (the weekly supplement to “Komsomolskaya Pravda”) in 1989. However, it was the novella “Evgesha and Annushka” (“Znamya” 1990) that made her famous. In 1991, Palei’s novella, “Cabiria from the Bypass Canal,” was published in Novy Mir,” bringing her instant critical acclaim and a nomination for the prestigious Russian Booker Prize. Despite harassment from the KGB for her political activities, Palei continued to publish. She graduated cum laude in 1991 and was invited to join the Writers’ Union. Although Palei emigrated to the Netherlands in 1995, she has continued to publish in Russia. Her first collection, Birthplace of the Wind (Russian: Месторождение ветра ), which gathered together her best-known works and previously published story cycles, was published in 1998. This collection was followed by “Long Distance, ili Slavyanskyi Akcent” (“Long Distance or the Slavic Accent”) – 2000, Vagrius, “The Lunch” (2000, Inapress), “Klemens” (2007, Vremya), “Tribute to Salamander” (2012, Eksmo).

In 1972, Palei began studying medical profession at the Leningrad Institute of Medicine. After graduating in 1978, she worked in several temporary jobs, among them as a medical technician, cleaning woman, and model, and she participated in an amateur theater group. After suffering a nervous breakdown in 1983, Palei recovered and, starting in 1984, began to write poetry. She also began work as a night watchman, a choice typical for writers and artists of her generation, symbolizing their desire to opt out of officially sanctioned cultural institutions while allowing them state-mandated employment with long stretches of time to write.

Irina Rodnyanskaya, a family friend and editor at the literary journal Novyi mir, encouraged Palei to apply to the Maxim Gorky Literature Institute (in Russian: Литературный институт им. А. М. Горького ). She was accepted, one of only five women in her class of eighty, and began writing fiction while taking classes at the institute. She gave up her night watchman job in 1987 to concentrate on writing, and her first publications were primarily literary criticism and reviews. It was during this time that Palei also became involved in the dissident movement, joining the independent Democratic Union (in Russian: Демократический союз ) party in 1988.
