Vladimir Sorokin is the most prominent and the most controversial
contemporary Russian writer. Having emerged as a prose writer in
Moscow's artistic underground in the late 1970s and early 80s, he
became visible to a broader Russian audience only in the mid-1990s,
with texts shocking the moralistic expectations of traditionally
minded readers by violating not only Soviet ideological taboos, but
also injecting vulgar language, sex, and violence into plots that
the postmodernist Sorokin borrowed from nineteenth-century
literature and Socialist Realism. Sorokin became famous when the
Putin youth organization burned his books in 2002 and he picked up
neo-nationalist and neo-imperialist discourses in his dystopian
novels of the 2000s and 2010s, making him one of the fiercest
critics of Russia's "new middle ages," while remaining steadfast in
his dismantling of foreign discourses.
