Abstract

Asia Voloshina’s latest play, Crime, has been written during Russia’s current and ongoing war against Ukraine. Voloshina places her tragic heroine and other characters in the space of text messages to family, friends, a loved one and amidst authentic media reports about the war. Thus, the action of the play takes place on a smartphone screen. In this article, Crime is addressed in the context of the evolving view of Russia and Russians and in relation to earlier works by Voloshina, Гибнет хор, Дания тюрьма, Человек из рыбы and Подтвердите, что вы еловек. The interpretation has been extended to include the notion of necro-imperialism as defined by Nikolai Karpicki.
