Title in English: The Theme of Empire in Russian Literature: Selected Aspects The Theme of Empire in Russian Literature: Selected Aspects is a collective monograph that, through postcolonial analysis, examines the phenomenon of empire in Russian literature across various historical periods. The authors focus on the classic texts of A. Pushkin and M. Lermontov, where imperial motifs resonate in the context of colonial expansion, and analyze the literary works of the Russian emigration, which reflect the loss of cultural identity and the relationship to the imperial heritage. The publication also focuses on the modern prose of Vladimir Sorokin, which demystifies the imperial past and reveals its influence on literary and cultural discourse. The book brings a new perspective on Russian literature through the lens of postcolonial studies and shows how imperial narratives have been formed and transformed over time.
