The Ontological Problem of Arkady Babchenko´S Cycle of Miniatures Ten Series on the War

Summary/Abstract: This article is devoted to the consideration of human ontological problems as the main genre sign of Arkady Babchenko’s cycle of miniatures Ten Series on the War. This prose of Babchenko is devoted to Russia’s Chechen Wars and realistically reproduces the modern realities. At the same time, its main meaning-making factor is the mythologeme of the Dante’s Purgatory. This generally introduces this text into the field of global literature’s reflection on the human destiny, his spiritual life and his main values. In Babchenko’s cycle, the image of the Purgatory has the semantics of a catastrophic space, in which, nevertheless, there is a chance for a spiritual rebirth of man. The process of building a war-maimed human soul is indicated by the symbolism of the Home, the Threshold and the Door.
