Abstract

The article aims to analyze the portrayal of a Siberian city, illustrated through Krasnoyarsk in Dmitry Zakharov’s novel The Committee for the Protection of Bridges (2022). The theoretical and methodological background of the study consists of the works of scholars affiliated with the Tartu-Moscow semiotic school and other experts specializing in the study of Siberian texts within the Russian literary context. Zakharov’s Krasnoyarsk is a complex multifaceted spatial construct encompassing socio-political, cultural-historical, economic-ecological, and mythological dimensions. The author creates a negative image of the city, mainly criticizing the policies of the local authorities. The article considers the fundamental elements of the urban landscape, the most important objects and space motifs, as well as some types of characters and their ways of experiencing Krasnoyarsk.
