Tamara Anatoliyivna Duda (Ukrainian: Тамара Анатоліївна Дуда; born 5 January 1976), known in Ukraine by the pseudonym Tamara Horikha Zernya (Ukrainian: Тамара Горіха Зерня), is a Ukrainian writer and translator. Having first become known for her Facebook page documenting her time as a volunteer in the Donbas during the early stages of the Russo-Ukrainian War, Duda has since gone on to become a novelist, with her debut novel Daughter (2019) winning the 2022 Shevchenko National Prize for Literature, among other accolades.
