ТРИ ВАРИАНТА СЮЖЕТА «ВОЗВРАЩЕНИЕ В СОВЕТСКОЕ ПРОШЛОЕ» (НИКОЛАЙ КОЛЯДА, ЯРОСЛАВА ПУЛИНОВИЧ, ЮЛИЯ ТУПИКИНА)
THREE VERSIONS OF THE “BACK TO THE SOVIET PAST” STORY (NIKOLAI KOLYADA, YAROSLAVA PULINOVICH, YULIA TUPIKINA)

Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on how modern playwrights portray the reality of the Soviet past which does not exist any longer. The choice of different approaches is not solely determined by the generation gap; it also depends on the practical purpose that a play is to fulfill on stage. For example, Nikolai Kolyada’s Time Capsule is nostalgic and sentimental in order to appeal to the viewers that long for the long-passed time when they were young. Yulia Tupikina had a specific task to write a play about building the Bratsk Hydroelectric Power Station ordered by the Bratsk Drama Theater, while Yaroslava Pulinovich’ Endless April focuses on the historical repeating trauma. What do these different texts and authors have in common?
