Vladimir Sorokin: The future of Russia
Original language description
The book title Vladimir Sorokin: The future of Russia in context analyses and interprets the depiction of Russia's future in Sorokin's novels The Day of the Oprichnik (2007), Telluria (2013), Manaraga (2017) and Doctor Garin (2021), in chronological order. He sees the texts as continuing futurological projections. According to Sorokin, the future of Russia is dynamically evolving from a closed national totalitarian state, to disintegration in the face of post-imperialism, to extinction in the process of globalization, to a certain rebirth of the Russian element, albeit without the state. Studying Sorokin's texts in this perspective reveals the essence of Russian national identity and Russianness as such. The work also reveals the general developmental tendencies that the author predicts, especially in the field of geopolitics, the relationship between man and technology, the relationship between reality and image, and the formation of universal values. It also addresses the potential of fictional genres to pronounce on the state of the contemporary world. It sees Sorokin's novels as multi-layered and interprets their levels as contemporary satirical, anticipatory, visionary and mythic. It uses semiotic and discursive analysis as its main research method, with quantitative methods as a complementary approach. This approach reaches several spheres of analysis: thematology, ideology and philosophy of history, genology, comparatistics, narratology, imagology.
