Serhiy Zhadan’s young adult prose presents images of young people growing up in the posttotalitarian reality in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Zhadan’s Depeche Mode shows the complicated process of developing individual and collective identities in the difficult period of breakthrough. The young protagonists of the novel are surrounded not only by the Soviet ethics, but also by the globalizing Western culture, which increasingly affects the creation of their identity. While almost exclusively being in their own company, boys create strong generational ties. The teenage protagonists regularly drink alcohol, take illegal drugs, and even sleep with the same girl. Wanting to fit into the new reality, the teen protagonists try to rebel against the system and the disappointing passive institutions. They do not understand the failing political system, or the one which came after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Youth rebellion seems to be ill and superficial, because a true rebellion entails the desire of real social and cultural changes.
