Abstract

The article is a continuation of the research on the prose of Mikita Franko - a young author of queer literature who writes in Russian and comes from Kazakhstan. This time, the male figures, definitely dominant in the analyzed works, are in the center of attention. The protagonists of Franko's three novels are considered in the perspective of masculinities studies, which allows them to be analyzed in the context of such categories as hegemonic masculinity, complicit masculinity and subordinate masculinities. In the discussed novels, they take a characteristic East Slavic form. An important aspect of the works is the search for one's own gender identity by the growing up characters, as well as the issue of tolerance, especially current in contemporary Russia.

Keywords:
