Yana Mikhailovna Vagner (Russian: Яна Михайловна Вагнер; born 8 October 1973, in Moscow) is a Russian writer and journalist, best known for her novel Vongozero (2011), which was adapted into the Russian series To the Lake on Netflix.[1][2][3][4][5]

Yana Mikhailovna Vagner was born on 8 October 1973 in Moscow into a bilingual family. Her mother, whose maiden name is Vagner, moved to the Soviet Union from Czechoslovakia in the 1960s to study Russian language and literature. Although her mother settled in the Soviet Union, working as a translator for All-Union Radio, Yana spent every summer holiday in the Czech part of Czechoslovakia with her maternal grandparents and because of this she speaks Czech.

In 1994, she graduated from the Russian State University for the Humanities and worked as a Czech and English translator. For more than ten years she worked in transport logistics.

Since 2011 she has lived in the Moscow Region, near Zvenigorod with her husband and son.
