Acquaintance with literature, love of writing and graceful literature by Oster was instilled in the mother. She worked as a librarian, so from birth she read literature to her son. And not some, but Russian classics-the immortal creations of Pushkin and Lermontov. Grigory Oster, who has learned to read quite early, loved literary works with all his soul.

At the age of eighteen, having received secondary education, the future writer was drafted into the army, in which he was held in the Northern Fleet. After three years of military service, George Oster decides to devote his life to writing and sets off to conquer Moscow.

Already several generations of Russian children have grown on cartoons shot according to the works of Oster: “A kitten named Gav”; “The Ushastik and his friends”; "38 parrots"; "Baba Yaga against"; “I got caught that bite”; "Underground transition"; "How the hare was catching up."
