Образы постнациональной действительности в прозе Владимира Сорокина и Виктора Пелевина
Pictures of postnational reality in the prose of Vladimir Sorokin and Viktor Pelevin

Summary/Abstract: The paper aims at analyzing the importance of national identity in the selected works by Vladimir Sorokin and Viktor Pelevin. Both writers place significant emphasis on presenting the possible consequences of the present social changes. Pelevin predicts the unification of the world’s biggest countries into a homogenous structure based on people’s recognition. On the other hand, Sorokin forecasts the division of the present states into smaller structures, which will need to (re)construct their own identity. The interpretation is complemented with relevant ideas of Hegel and Fukuyama.
