the Future-in-the-Past: Post-Soviet Dystopia

Autors: 
Kabanova Daria Sergeevna, Kenyon College (USA)

Post-Soviet dystopia’s construction of the future out of the national past is analyzed as culturally-conditioned complex reaction to utopian temporality of the method of Socialist realism and treatment of time in folklore.
