Summary/Abstract: Subversive tendencies in Russian literary texts are the main problem for any historical and typological overview of Russian literature. The first part of this paper is about A. Ščerbenok’s deconstructive reading of some Russian works and authors. According to Ščerbenok, classical Russian literature has a very specific, anti-traditional position in the context of world literature. Agreeing with many Western European observers, Ščerbenok writes about classical Russian literature as an anomaly. The second part of the work is focused on M. Epštejn’s postmodern history of Russian contemporary literature.
