Due to the rapid social changes after the collapse of the Soviet Union there occurred a need to present a new literary character with whom the readers could identified themselves. Facing the lack of the new models of an all-Russian character, Russian writers began to use well-known literary patterns from the past. The aim of the given article is to analyse the main characters of two defining works at the beginning of XXI-century Russian literature –“Generation ‘P’” by V. Pelevin and “Dukhless” by S. Minaev – in terms of presence of the features characterising the superfluous men and the little man. These two categories of characters in XIX-century Russian literature are being partially transposed so as to fit the contemporary mentality and conditions of everyday life.
