Transformacja mitu o bohaterstwie w rosyjskiej współczesnej prozie wojennej

Journal Title: ACTA POLONO-RUTHENICA - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 0

Abstract

Contemporary “war prose” contains works on both the Second World War and the subsequent conflicts in Afghanistan and Chechnya. The aim of the article is to analyse the changes of the war hero myth in autobiographical texts of the wars’ participants. Among the authors are Oleg Yerma- kov, Zachar Prilepin, Arkady Babchenko. As we find out, the contemporary “war narrative” is in- terwoven with the lack of ideology and patriotic pathos. A soldier fails to accept his war; moreover, he questions the authorities in their decision to break out the military conflict. In these conditions, it is difficult to make heroic acts and sacrifice for the good of the homeland.
