The work is an attempt to analyse Puppy Years by Melchior Wańkowicz in the context of postcolonial theory, feminist criticism and gender studies. The aspects presented in the text include the relationship between Belarusians, Poles and Russians at the turn of the 19 ad 20 century, the reality of life under Russian annexation, the exploitation of Belarusian peasants by the Polish gentry and the issues of sexual violence and performative theory of sexuality.
