Dina Dmitrievna Zlobina was born on December 6, 1936, in the village of Chernzorye, Moksha district, Penza region, in a teacher's family. After school, she moved to Kalach-na-Donu and enrolled in a technical school, choosing the specialty of metal lathe operator. After completing her studies, Dina went to Stalingrad and began working at the 'Barricades' factory in three shifts. Missing home, she expressed her feelings in poetry, writing: 'On a foreign land, I search for happiness in vain.' It was during this time that she began to publish her works and met her first mentor, the poet Fyodor Sukhov. He convinced her to submit her poems to a competition at the Gorky Literary Institute in Moscow. In 1957, Dina became a student at this institute, and soon her poems began to appear in publications such as 'Literary Gazette', 'Komsomolskaya Pravda', 'Youth', and 'Change'.

In 1959, her first book 'Cherry Blossom at the Gate' was published. In 1962, the year she graduated from the institute, a collection titled 'Springs' was released, and Zlobina became a member of the Writers' Union.

Dina traveled extensively across the country, working as a correspondent for the 'Youth' radio station. She visited construction sites in the North and Siberia, in Altai and the Ukrainian steppes.

In 1964, she returned to Penza, but her heart always remained in Chernzorye, where she often visited and created.

Dina Zlobina's life ended tragically. She suffered from a severe illness and was under the care of doctors at the regional psychiatric hospital. On May 4, 2004, she was found in a forest on the outskirts of Penza. The illness struck her suddenly, and there was no one nearby who could help. Dina Zlobina was buried at the Novozapadnoye cemetery on May 8, 2004.

On March 15, 2005, a museum was opened in her homeland. That day, songs based on her poems, written by Oktyabr Vasilyevich Grishin, were sung in the village, and her works were read. The poems resonated more than ordinary words because Dina Dmitrievna expressed herself, her fate, and her homeland so vividly that it was impossible to convey it better.

On September 1, 2010, a memorial plaque in her honor was installed in the village of Chernzorye, where the poetess studied.
