Elena Evgenjevna Levkievskaya Logo ORCID

Abstract

The article is devoted to the representations in the modern Eastern Slavic peasant autobiographical narratives about XX-th century history. Peasant biographies, diary records, oral peasant tales about the life are the materials of this work. Eastern Slavic autobiographical texts are based on traumatic interpretation of history. The main composition of cultural indices in such narratives about the past coincides with the collection of personal and collective disasters including revolution, Civil War, collectivization, dekulakization, repressions, Great Domestic War and postwar hunger. The article analyzes traumatic memory as such type of memory which interprets the past as a set of personal and general traumas and failures.
