The subject of the study is an analysis of historiographic position of Jozef Felix´s article published in 1946 O nové cesty v próze alebo problém „anjelských zemí“ v našej literatúre (After New Ways in Prose or the Issue of „Angel Lands“ in Our Literature) and the polemic it caused at that time. The author focuses on revealing the reasons which allowed Slovak Marxist literary historiography to label Felix´s article as the starting point when Slovak after-war prose „definitely leant towards“ Socialist Realism. The author opposes this literary-historical construct by claiming that Felix´s article and the related polemic were a part of the argument about what is modern in the Slovak literature in 1946, and not a part of the argument between the Modern Slovak literature and the Literature of Socialist Realism. The latter argument arose only subsequently and it was prompted by the political situation in Czechoslovakia in 1948.

Zakhar Prilepin is a 34-year-old writer, critic, social and political activist with a remarkable wartime experience, essay writer and TV presenter, who is highly popular and prospers very well in the media zone. Apart from three successful novels The Pathologies (2005), Sankya (2006) and Sin (2007), he also published a collection of stories which are subject of analysis in the present article. Boots Full of Hot Vodka. Boy Stories (2008) is a collection of stories full of brutality, humour, and lyricism, from which a delightfully coherent image of the protagonist and the world emerges. The coherence results for instance from the closeness of the protagonist and the author. The latter says of himself: “I am a happy man who occasionally keeps himself busy writing books.” Prilepin seems to be creating a new topos, absent from Russian literature so far — the topos of a happy man.
