This article is devoted to the issue of the evolution of how a woman is portrayed in Vladimir Voinovich’s works. In the author’s early works a woman’s portrayal was relatively poor, stereotypical and neutral; then it became more diverse and profound from the point of view of its ideological significance. A woman steps away from the man’s background and transforms herself into his equal partner in the process of creating reality.

The Feast (Пир, 2001) by Vladimir Sorokin is considered to be the culmination of the second period of the author’s literary work, and the one that presages his break up with the fundamental principles of postmodernism and conceptualism. The Feast consists of thirteen novels, all of which more or less literally revolve around the theme of eating. Sorokin’s search for the taste of life based on the opposition body/flesh–the disincarnate, culture–pseudoculture, manifests his critique of the superficiality of modern societies, in which the collective pursuit of sensuality together with widespread accessibility of all sorts of material goods are signs of inner self-destruction. Sorokin’s “taste of death,” expressed principally in the display of various forms of cannibalism, prefigures the advent of afuture “taste of life” — free from taboo, illusion and prejudice.

The present article discusses the latest novel by Natalka Babina, Бодай Будка [Bodai Budka, 2019] – the first Ukrainian-language novel written and published in Belarus. The writer continues her analysis concerning the problem of identity of Belarusians (touched upon earlier in the novel Town of Fish [2007]) and at the same time fights against the stereotype of a Belarusian as a “soul slave”. This time, Babin’s attention is focused on language as the decisive factor in the process of personality self identification. Therefore, the problems of the multilingualism of Belarusians (with special regard to the Ukrainian language), culturalmemory, and the (essentially hostile) hegemony of the Russian language are brought to the fore.

In the present work, the issue of the dream motif existing in contemporary Russian detective novels is being examined. As examples, two radically different, as far as the role of adream is concerned, novels are analyzed. The first one, Stolen Dream by Alexandra Marinina, is totally realistic and the second one Love Colder than Death by Anna Malysheva, is full of mysticism. What is more, the coexistence within one genre of totally different approaches to one and the same motif shows, on the one hand a substantial diversity of detective novels, and on the other hand the unflagging popularity of the dream motif in contemporary Russian literature.

Dmitry Bykov’s novel Justification, created within the convention of alternative history, is a story about a fruitless attempt to justify Stalin’s crimes. The work combines mythologizing and demythologizing tendencies, which makes it an interesting example of quasi-historical prose. Moreover, the novel constitutes a significant voice in the debate on Russia's present condition and prospects.

The present paper aims at analyzing two novels by Dmitry Bykov: Justification(1998) and Signals (2013). On the basis of both their subject and formal representation we may state that they may be considered a dilogy. In the former the author focused on a specific problem - an alternative version of the causes, course and consequences of Stalinist repressions. The latter touches upon the issue of the existing reality anddetermination to attain goals in the context of a contemporary Russian’s mentality,which is largely affected by Soviet thinking

В романе Гусь Фриц Сергей Лебедев ставит в центре внимания проблему истории русских немцев, вопрос до сих пор актуальный, плавно вписывающийся в дискуссию о сложном прошлом страны. Русские немцы, как показывает автор - это типичные люди промежутка: до сих пор чужие и в России, и в Германии. Функционируя практически с самого начала между двумя тоталитарными режимами (с одной стороны, сначала царский, потом советский, с другой, с какого-то момента, фашистский), принуждающими людей лишаться собственного прошлого и идентифицироваться с актуально политически верной идентичностью, русские немцы потеряли память поколений и до сих пор остаются «людьми в пути». В этом контексте рассказываемая Лебедевым история касается и человеческой натуры как таковой, и проблемы очень важной для современной России - статуса немецкого меньшинства и его миграционных перспектив в Германию.
EN
In the novel The Goose Fritz, Sergei Lebedev puts the spotlight on the still-relevant problem of the history of Russian Germans, a question which adds depth to discussion about the complex past of the country. Russian Germans, as the author portrays them, live in a state of suspension, bearing a mark of foreignness in both Russia and Germany. Functioning almost from the very beginning between two totalitarian regimes (tsarist and then Soviet regimes on one side, and on the other, fascism), each of which forces people to divest themselves of their own past in favor of an identity aligned with the more “correct” politics of the time and place, Russian Germans have lost the memory of generations and remain “an uprooted people”. In this context, Lebedev’s story concerns human nature as such, as well as a problem of great importance for contemporary Russia: the status of the German minority and the prospect of their migration to Germany.

The article is an attempt to answer the question of the way noir functions in the contemporary prose devoted to Moscow and the extent to which it affects the city’s literary image. The paper interprets selected works by Vladimir Sorokin, Roman Senchin and Sergei Kuznetsov. The analysis conducted by the author of the paper leads to the conclusion that the presence of the so-called “black naturalism” in the Moscow texts does not spoil the image of Russia’s capital, but complements it with new elements (previously hidden, but present since the old days). Therefore, Moscow becomes more real, tangible, flesh and blood as well as suitable for the worldwide tendency to create megapolises.

Text is a novel of manners with elements of a thriller, a noir, and a detective novel (but the above-mentioned complementary elements fulfill only a supportive role, because the criminal intrigue exposed at the very beginning is treated marginally amounts to a starting point for deeper considerations of the psychological and sociological nature). Due to the peculiar presentation of the image of the Center (here: Moscow), Text fits into the vision of Moscow as the core of Russian predatory capitalism, exuberant consumerism, glitz, semblance and ruthless struggle for recognition in the ranking of successful people, which is presented in contemporary Russian literature. Its fundamental value is the fact that the realization of the author's idea is mainly due to the confrontation of megalopolis with images of the periphery, which can be regarded as satellite cities of the capital. In his perception of Russia, Glukhovsky is close to Roman Senchin and, similarly to the latter, he believes that the traditionally understood center-periphery, city-village conflict is disappearing, because eventually it turns out that (despite the spatial and social diversity) none of these places (mainly because of conspicuous regressive tendencies) does not give a person a chance for free development and self-realization.

The aim of this paper is to analyze an increasingly dangerous phenomenon in modern times – the Internet addiction – in the context of contemporary Russian literature. It seems that in this light, the work of Viktor Pelevin can serve as a perfect example of a literary voice in the discussion about the condition of the modern world. The present paper uses the findings of modern technology experts (e.g. Clifford Stoll), philosophers, and sociologists (e.g. Jean Baudrillard, Kazimierz Krzysztofek). In Viktor Pelevin’s novel entitled Love for Three Zuckerbrins (Любовь к трeм цукербринам, 2014) the author continues his analysis of the problem, already marked in The Helmet of Horror (Шлем ужаса: Креатифф о Тесее и Минотавре, 2005), centered on the impact of the development of the latest technologies on human beings. While in the author’s earlier works this issue remained in the sphere of predictions and guesses, here it is unequivocally resolved to the detriment of the human individual. By touching upon the question of popular games for people, Pelevin shows their real role – playing with people. In this context the abovementioned attraction to simple entertainment has irreversible effects – a win in an Internet game means a failure in real life. While advocating unequivocally on the side of the opponents of the adulation for cyberspace, Pelevin points out that a complete unification with it will lead to the end of humanity.

This article presents a comparative analysis of Vladimir Zazubrin’s story titled The Splinter (1923) and its contemporary screen adaptation, i.e. Alexandr Rogozhkin’s film The Chekist (1992), in the context of the Russian nation’s tragedy during the formation of a new socio-political system. Just as Zazubrin text is a peculiar testimony to a certain epoch, Rogozhkin’s film (if one also takes into account the date of its premiere) is a picture that warns contemporary people so as to prevent them from repeating their predecessors’ mistakes.

In his latest novel Manaraga (2017) Sorokin comments on one of the most significant problems of modern times – the results of the anticipated death of the printed book as well as the related opposition between the original and the copy. The biggest problem, as the author suggests, is not the form of the already published literary classics but the absence of new classics, which can embrace ideas capable of awaking the humankind from its zest for comfort and motivating people for constructive progress.

“The body of death” (on the basis of selected worksby Vladimir Sorokin) One of the outstanding characteristics of Vladimir Sorokin’s works is the permanent presence of Thanatos motifs. The structure of Sorokin’s pictures of death (both executed and experienced) is subordinated to the logic of the process of going beyond the word-body opposition. Consequently, death in Sorokin’s prose is always deprived of its proper dignity. Moreover, it is shown as a senseless and absurd. The conscious emphasis on physicality, understood as the expression of the desire to overcome the word-body opposition, causes the necessary presence of means which are typical of horror films. This strategy can be observed within the whole oeuvre of the author, however with varied intensity as in the recent works Sorokin places much lesser emphasis on the display of human physicality in the face of death.
RU
„Тело смерти” (на примере избранных произведений Владимира Сорокина) Одной из опознавательных черт творчества Владимира Сорокона является постоянное присутствие танатологических мотивов. Структура сорокинских образов смерти (как причиняемой, так и испытываемой) подчинена процессу преодоления. В результате смерть у Сорокина всегда лишена должного достоинства и показана как бессмысленная и абсурдная. Сознательный нажим на телесность как способ преодоления оппозиции слово–тело генерирует между другими присутствие приемов присущих формуле фильма ужасов. Эту стратегию можно заметить в целом творчестве автора, хотя с разной интенсивностью, так как в последний период творчества Сорокин сравнительно меньше внимания посвящает описанию физиологических процессов перед смертью.

The paper is divided into two parts. The introductory part discusses the sociological aspect of the term New Russian, which becomes the starting point of the analysis of a specific type of literary characters.The literary picture of the New Russian has evolved in its long history (reaching the Old Russian folklore) as it did not always use to connote negative characteristics. Nowadays the New Russian is exclusively presented as an anti-character, the typical features of whom are inter alia: the absence of clearly defined identity, the specific attitude to money understood as the source of power, an extremely instrumental approach to other people, and disdain for the broadly understood tradition (including family tradition). In Russian literature this type was at the peak of its popularity at the turn of the millennium and since then it has degraded almost exclusively to mere anecdotal characters in readers’ memory.
PL
Artykuł podzielono na dwie części. W części wstępnej omówiono socjologiczny aspekt pojęcia Nowy Rosjanin, które jest swego rodzaju punktem wyjścia do analizy konkretnego typu bohatera literackiego. Literacki wizerunek wyewoluował na bazie wielowiekowej (od literatury staroruskiej poczynając) tradycji i nie zawsze jego wydźwięk był negatywny. Dziś Nowy Rosjanin występuje wyłącznie jako antybohater, którego głównymi cechami wywoławczymi są między innymi: brak własnej tożsamości, specyficzne podejście do pieniędzy postrzeganych jako źródło władzy, skrajnie przedmiotowy stosunek do drugiego człowieka oraz pogarda dla szeroko rozumianej tradycji (w tym także i rodzinnej). W literaturze rosyjskiej ten typ bohatera cieszył się największą popularnością na przełomie XX i XXI wieku, by potem powoli zejść na margines i pozostać w pamięci czytelników głównie jako bohater dowcipów.

The present paper aims at analyzing one of the most recent Divov’s stories entitled Рыжий пес Иж (2016). The text is interesting both due to its literary genre hybridity (it embraces elements of a melodrama, a horror story, a detective story, urban fantasy and a fairy tale) and the topics it touches upon (especially animalistic issues). Divov deploys the well-known literary and cinematic motif of a soul penetrating an object and creates a story of motorcycle haunted by a dog’s soul. Due to its original solutions (inter alia referring to films) Divov’s story is an interesting work illustrating the permanent interrelations between literatures and movies as well as the author’s exploration within this scope. Moreover, the manner of creating the animal character and placing it within the structure allow for including Divov’s story into the group of contemporary literary works reflecting the proanimal trends in Russian culture.

The paper aims at analyzing Dmitry Glukhovsky’s novel Future in the context of spending leisure time. The writer presents a society, which has overcome death. It gives rise to the question if “leisure time” still exists in such a situation; and if it does, what importance and functions it has in comparison with the life before “the era of everlasting life”. Glukhovsky indicates that overcoming death in an unnatural way freezes civilization in time, which leads to the dwindling of human creativity and, which is confirmed by the way human beings spend their free time in the novel, degeneration. Instead of making progress humankind focuses on maintain the status quo, In light of the abovementioned the only solution is restoring death perceived as the reconstruction of the natural order of things.

The subject of the analysis is the novel Outpost and Outpost 2 by Dmitry Glukhovsky. In this work, the author draws on post-apocalyptic roots and outlines a vision of Russia after the catastrophe – the civil war, which made Russia only formally exist as a state. Unlike the classic post-apocalyptic works in which we already observe a solidified “new world”, Glukhovsky focuses on the process of its creation – an element omitted in “mature” post-apocalyptic literature – mainly from the sociological point of view. The emphasis on the social aspect in combination with the political dimension makes the novel go beyond the scope of popular literature. It is also a painful, dystopian reflection on the projected future of Russia – a country which, according to the author, has not managed to break out of the vicious circle of utopian mania for greatness.

Pomiędzy Sherlockiem Holmesem a Eberhardem Mockiem: Hotel „Wielkie Prusy” Bohdana Kołomijczuka

The subject of the analysis in this paper is the novel by Bohdan Kolomiichuk entitled The Great Prussia Hotel. From the genre point of view, the piece fits seamlessly into the so-called retro detective story with elements of the noir novel. The author’s variant of the retro detective story is clearly inspired by the classics of the genre, such as Artur Conan Doyle or Agata Christie (also contemporary ones, already containing further original modifications, such as Marek Krajewski or Konrad Lewandowski). This translates, for example, into the construction of the main character. Thus, a hybrid character is created, which appears to be a conglomerate of the features of Sherlock Holmes and Eberhard Mock. One should also pay attention to the construction of the novel space. Mapping activates various cultural and historical codes, it is not only an element accompanying the development of the plot but an expression of counter-hegemonic practice - the opposition to superficial top-down unification, anonymization and denationalization. Kolomiichuk’s novel can therefore be considered a borderland work in some places due to its multi-address character and a certain historical verve. In this context, at times drifting somewhat towards postmodernism, the Hotel smoothly fits into the trend of opening up popular literature to hybridity, borderline and multi-genre, visible since the turn of the 20th and 21st century, while taking into account national archetypes, images and motifs, and correlating them with the global (also contemporary) classics of the genre.

Предметом аналізу в цій статті є роман Богдана Коломійчука Готель „Велика Пруссія”. З точки зору жанрового визначення твір плавно вписується в рамки ретро-детективу з елементами нуарного роману. Авторський варіант ретро-детективу, використаний письмен- ником, безсумнівно інспірований класиками жанру, такими як Артур Конан Дойл чи Агата Крісті, а також сучасними авторами, твори яких містять подальші оригінальні модифікації (Марек Краєвський чи Конрад Левандовський). Простежується це, зокрема, у побудові го- ловного героя, яким є гібридний персонаж, створений на базі спільних рис Шерлока Холмса та Ебергарда Мока. В аналізованому романі слід звернути увагу й на побудову художнього простору. Авторське мапування активізує різноманітні культурно-історичні коди, відтак є не лише елементом, що супроводжує розвиток сюжетної лінії, а й вираженням контргегемо- ністської практики – протидії поверховій уніфікації, анонімізації та денаціоналізації. Таким чином роман Коломійчука можна вважати межовим твором з огляду на його багатоадресність та певний історичний нахил. У цьому контексті, дрейфуючи подекуди в бік постмодернізму, Готель «Велика Пруссія» плавно вписується в актуальний від зламу ХХ–ХХІ ст. тренд відкриття масової літератури на гібридність, межовість та багатожанровість з урахуванням національних
