Demonstrations and Protests in the Perspective of the Literary Community in Russia

Monika Karwacka Logo ORCID

Abstract

This article is an attempt to identify the protest potential of the literary community in Russia. Special attention is dedicated to writers and critics who, in their creative activity, implicitly and explicitly express their protest against particular phenomena, actions or ideas. In the literary community, there also appear voices commenting on public feelings. Writers who speak approvingly about social protests strengthen the protest potential, which is confirmed by the number of comments that refer to their speeches. In recent years, cyberspace has created conditions that intensely stimulate protest behavior, especially among the younger generation. It is also a place where popular writers and critics publish provocative speeches and texts which contain a strong emotional charge.
