Military Prose in Russian Literature in the 1990s–2000s

Abstract

The formation of a new military prose took place in the conditions of an undeclared war, which formed a stable anti-militarist public consciousness, which made significant adjustments to modern historical reconstructions. With all the variety of artistic approaches and stylistic incarnations, modern prose about the Great Patriotic War is aimed at solving the main issue - the price of Victory. The new military prose merges with the literature of the "lost generation", assimilates the experience of existentialist prose, the techniques of modernist writing, and enters the field of genre experiments.
