Year 1991 in Russian Prose

Anna Skotnicka

Abstract

The goal of this article is to establish how the events of 1991, which are commonly associated with the fall of the USSR, are depicted in Russian prose. Most of the writers, including E. Vodolazkin, V. Pelevin,  P. Sanayev, S. Lebedev, A. Prokhanov portray in their works the moment of the August Coup, even though it often plays only a marginal role in the story. Therefore, the author analyzes selected fragments isolated from the entirety of the respectful works, and examines them outside their original contexts, paying attention to motifs, images, and notions they contain.
