Across the twentieth century, the Russian literary hero remained
central to Russian fiction and frequently "battled" one enemy or
another, whether on the battlefield or on a civilian front. War was
the experience of the Russian people, and it became a dominant
trope to represent the Soviet experience in literature as well as
other areas of cultural life. This book traces those war
experiences, memories, tropes, and metaphors in the literature of
the Soviet and post-Soviet period, examining the work of Dmitry
Furmanov, Fyodor Gladkov, Alexander Tvardovsky, Emmanuil
Kazakevich, Vera Panova, Viktor Nekrasov, Alexander Solzhenitsyn,
Vladimir Voinovich, Sergei Dovlatov, Vladimir Makanin, Viktor
Astafiev, Viktor Pelevin, and Vasily Aksyonov. These authors
represented official Soviet literature and underground or dissident
literature; they fell into and out of favor, were exiled and
returned to Russia, died at home and abroad. Most importantly, they
were all touched by war, and they reacted to the state of war in
their literary works.
