EVERYDAY LIFE IN THE COUNTRYSIDE AFTER THE SYSTEMIC TRANSFORMATION (ANDRZEJ STASIUK’S TALES OF GALICIA AND ROMAN SENCHIN’S THE YELTYSHEVS)

Artur Nowaczewski

Abstract

The rural areas, remaining on the periphery of the power centres’ interests, especially strongly felt the effect of the systemic transformation. This crisis had a significant impact not only on the economic issues, but also on the family and neighbour relationships, since communism had damaged the harmony of human coexistence with nature and relations inside the local communities. The author presents a look at the rural daily life of the late twentieth century in Poland and Russia using examples of Tales of Galicia by Andrzej Stasiuk and The Yeltyshevs by Roman Senchin – books describing the reality of the countryside in each of the countries. A comparison of these two works reveals significant differences in the ways of capturing reality of the countryside in Poland and Russia.
