Мarynarka od Burberry czy kurtka puchowa? Ubranie a ewolucja bohatera powieści Andrieja Giełasimowa Холод
Burberry jacket or padded jacket? Clothes and the hero’s evolution in Andrey Gelasimov’s Cold

Summary/Abstract: Andrey Gelasimov — a representative of contemporary Russian prose — chose for the hero of his novel Cold an artist lost in the world of media expectations. Confronted with extreme weather conditions, the hero tries to cope with his own past, which is portrayed through changes in his looks. The text analyses the stages of this transformation, stressing that modifications in the attire — from the western kind, unsuitable for the climatic conditions, to the one typical for local Russian culture — reflect the process of the hero’s maturation and self-acceptance.
