The book explores literary works by Russian women writers that deal with the Soviet past, highlighting the themes of displacement and postmemory. It showcases how these works give voice to marginalized individuals and preserve cultural memory in post-Soviet Russia.

Publisher: Springer Nature Switzerland AG


The book delves into a comprehensive exploration of notable literary works produced by Russian women writers during the past two decades, focusing on their portrayal of the Soviet past. It examines a selection of works, including Daniel Stein by Ludmilla Ulitskaya, The Time of Women by Elena Chizhova, Secondhand Time: The Last of the Soviets by Svetlana Alexievich, and In Memory of Memory by Maria Stepanova. Through meticulous analysis, the book uncovers interconnected thematic structures and features that shed light on the experiences of marginalized individuals and communities, particularly women and girls, during the second half of the twentieth century. By delving into the concepts of displacement and postmemory, the book demonstrates how these works have given voice to those who have often been silenced in the narratives of 'great history.' Through vivid and poignant portrayals of everyday experiences and trauma, these women writers offer a profound insight into the lives of displaced women and girls, contributing to the creation and preservation of cultural memory in post-Soviet Russia. This study provides valuable new perspectives on the significance of these women writers' contributions to the literary landscape and their role in shaping the collective memory of a nation transitioning from a socialist past to a democratic present.

The book delves into a comprehensive exploration of notable literary works produced by Russian women writers during the past two decades, focusing on their portrayal of the Soviet past.
