Deneshkina, Pelevin, and Maslowska describe the reality after a collapse of communism. They concentrate especially on young people who do not have values, affirmative ideals or any authorities. They do not know God, they cannot pray. The characters drink alcohol, take drugs, tell lies, offend each other. They cannot see any differences between truth and falsehood. The authoress shows how difficult and complicated modern times are. Boys and girls are not able to find the aim of their lives, they would like to plan their future, yet it seems to be impossible. Young people miss true love and friendship. Not only do they look for fun and enjoyment but they want responsibility and dignity as well. Characters do not believe in paradise on the earth: they dream about 'real' happiness.

(Title in Polish - 'Imperialista skolonizowany. O rosyjskim paradoksie kolonialnym na przykladzie 'Generation P' W. Pielewina i 'Rosja w zapasci' A. Solzenicyna'). The article aims at indicating the major limits of the post-colonial theory that result from its two important aspects: the moral and the political one. The existence of the first reason leads to the fact that postcolonialism is included into the leftist line of thought. The other reason makes it a sort of a weapon for a political fight for prestige and recognition. The case analysed in details is Russian imperialism whose influence on literature can be noticed not only in the past (e.g. in the 19th century classics) but also contemporarily. In order to corroborate the general remarks the author focuses on two works - 'Russia Under Avalanche' by Aleksander Solzhenitsyn and 'Generation P' by Victor Pelewin. The author underscores that both reveal the existence of the Russian paradox that consists in the fact that the identity discourse on the grounds of Russian literature results in a more or less conscious return to thinking in imperialistic categories.
