Abstract

The purpose of this article is to draw attention to the possibility of analyzing Yury Dombrovsky's debut novel "Derzhavin" using methods and tools developed on the ground of postcolonial theory and research, in particular, based on the metaphor of "internal colonization" developed by Alexander Etkind. Dombrovsky's construction of the space, time and place of the piece of work's action and, above all, the silhouette of the main character, provide an opportunity to explore the links between power and literary text.
