Cовременная русская социальная фантастика (2017 Ольги Славниковой)

Abstract

In the first part of the article the author presents phenomena characteristic of current Russian social fiction, focusing on genres such as alternative history, futuro-historical fiction and alternative futurology. In the Russian literature of the last two decades, futurological forecasts draw attention. As part of social-political projects, they offer an alternative to the real history of Russia in the 20th century. The second part of the paper discusses the novel 2017 by Olga Slavnikova, considered one of the most interesting examples of alternative futurology.
