Lyudmila was born on February 2, 1946, in Riga, Latvia. Her stepfather was an officer, and in her childhood, she lived in different cities of the USSR. Since 1959 she lived in Leningrad. After the birth of her daughter in 1975, she began to write plays, the first of which was staged in Leningrad in 1980.
After several unsuccessful attempts to enter the acting faculty of Russian State Institute of Performing Arts she entered the faculty of the theatrical faculty of this university in 1969 and graduated in 1974. 1978-1979 she attended the higher theater courses at The Russian Institute of Theatre Arts.
During her studies at the courses she received from the Ministry of Culture an order to write a play about "Difficult teenagers". The result was the play "Dear Elena Sergeevna". The Ministry rejected it, but the play was staged in 1981 in Tallinn (in Estonian), and then in 1982 in the Leningrad Lenkom. The production was a huge success, the play was staged in more than 20 theaters of the country, but in 1983 it was removed from the repertoire by order of [the source is not specified 1938 days] of the Ministry of Culture. Then it was permitted again with the beginning of perestroika in 1987. Many times was set abroad, including more than one hundred theaters in Germany.
In 1983 in the Leningrad BDT was staged the play "A Garden Without a Land" directed by Gennady Egorov. The play frankly reflected the state of society, and the Ministry of Culture of the RSFSR allowed to stage the play only after changing the name to "Sisters" and adding 169 abbreviations to the author's text.
She teaches the basics of literary mastery in the Children's Music School (Priladozhsky village).
In 2010 the novel "The Russian Remains" that covers the period from the February Revolution to the present day was published.
