    • OUR FANTASTIC FUTUREPolitical Discourses and Political Prognoses in Modern Russian Fiction: Pro and Contra (II)

      The article attempts to consider domestic political discourses based on the analysis of the works of fiction. According to V.Kovalev, in modern Russia, where due to the narrowing of the spheres of public politics and political competition the opposition is gradually being deprived of the possibility to follow the rules of democratic polities, and real politics increasingly falls back into the shadow, fiction becomes virtually an ideal object for revealing society’s political discourses, especially those of oppositional nature. The second part of the article published in this issue (for the first part see “Politeia”, 2008, № 1) analyzes the works connected with “patriotic”, Euro-Asian and imperial discourses.
