Literary critics and readers greeted the story with enthusiasm; at the end of the year, the work was recognized as the best literary debut of 1983.

Despite the unfavorable prognosis of the disease, she did not lose her presence of mind. With the help of doctors, Daria fights the disease and during her stay in the hospital during the next stage of long-term treatment, she writes her first detective story, “Cool Heirs.” The book was written in record time - in just five days. The first readers of the detective story were the nurses of the department where Daria was treated.

"The Green Tent" is a novel about love, about destinies, about characters. This is real psychological prose. But at the same time, Ulitskaya’s new work is broader than these definitions. "The Green Tent" has a broad sound, a note of common guilt, common unhappiness and a shining, shaky hint of universal forgiveness that resonates with all the people of the late twentieth century. This is a novel about the fact that real maturity in today’s civilization is almost never achieved, especially when a person who wants to take off and spread his wings is pressed by a certain burden of ideological, imperious, leaden, castrating.

RUSSIAN LITERATURE of the early XXI century Postmodernism as a literary movement that emerged in the West in the 20th century came to Russia later and reached its peak in the 90s. Postmodernism is what is happening to us now, this is the reality of modern culture. The emergence of postmodernism is associated with the general spiritual, cultural and social situation in the world. “This situation is characterized by increasing atomization, separation, alienation of people, worldviews, loss of integrity both in the inner world of a person and in human communities,” an ever-increasing “sense of global loneliness of a person in the home, in the country, on Earth, in space and, accordingly, the feeling hopelessness and defenselessness." (Karen Stepanyan “The Crisis of Speech on the Threshold of Freedom”). This provokes the loss of a common scale of values, any authorities or guidelines. The central points of the postmodernist picture of the world are the devaluation of reality, destroyed hierarchy, mixing of styles, the closest connection with modern subculture, polyphony of cultures, an obligatory element of the game, intertextuality.

Dominance of prose (“The End of the Age of Lyrics”, M. Lipovetsky): Loss of reader attention; Extreme complexity of the language; Elitism and orientation towards the poetry of the Silver Age and an ever-growing interest in the work of I. Brodsky; Postmodernist trends and materialism as one of the leading trends in the development of modern poetry. Contemporary Russian poets: Timur Kibirov: “Intimate Lyrics”, “Three Poems”, “Kara-Baras”, “Lada, or Joy”; Dmitry Prigov: “Variety of everything”, “Katya of China (someone else’s story)”, “Only my Japan”; Lev Rubinstein: “Most Likely”, “Regular Letter”, “Cases from Language”, “From May to May”; Elena Schwartz: “Poems and poems”, “Savagery of recent times”, “Wine of the seventh year”; Sergey Gandlevsky: “Find the Hunter”, “Thoughtless Past”, “Experiments in Prose”, “Experiments in Poems”; RUSSIAN LITERATURE of the early XXI century

Rubinstein's poems have been translated into many European languages.

“Other prose” The term “other prose” appeared in Russian literature in the late 1980s. This trend is characterized by a negative reaction to officialdom, the portrayal of the world as absurd and illogical. In the world of “other prose” there is no ideal, no one is going to repay good for good, and life is a petty mess in everyday affairs without a particular goal. The author's position is disguised or absent: the writer is not obliged to judge the characters or give spiritual instructions. “Other prose” includes the following writers: Tatyana Tolstaya: “They sat on the golden porch,” “Two,” “Kys,” “Don’t kys,” “Easy worlds”; Lyudmila Petrushevskaya: “Time is Night”, “Book of Princesses”, “Black Butterfly”; Lyudmila Ulitskaya: “The Case of Kukotsky”, “Daniel Stein, translator”, “People of our Tsar”; Dina Rubina: “Syndicate”, “On the Sunny Side of the Street”, Cycle “Russian Canary”; Victor Pelevin: “Chapaev and Emptiness”, “Omon Ra”, “Generation “P””, “S.N.U.F.F.”; Pavel Sanaev: “Kilometer Zero”, “At the Game”, “Bury me behind the plinth” RUSSIAN LITERATURE of the early XXI century

Two hundred years after a nuclear explosion, the settlement of Fedor-Kulmichsk, once Moscow, is trying to live in a new mutated world. Not only nature, humans, animals and plants have mutated; people’s consciousness, society, and the Russian language itself have also mutated. The city is populated by freaks with various “consequences” who keep “Reborns” as livestock, eat mice, “worms”, “shea mushrooms”, “fires”, drink and smoke “rust”. There is darkness in the souls of people, only glimmers of light are brought in by the “Formers”, who survived the explosion, but have stopped aging. Kys is an invisible creature that rips out the soul with its claw, after which the person, seemingly both living and inanimate, does not appear on the pages of the novel, but looks into the back every second, making the hearts of both the hero and the reader beat faster...

Remizov) Viktor Astafiev Fazil Iskander Vladimir Voinovich Valentin Rasputin Evgeniy Evtushenko Vasily Aksenov

Four “generations” of modern writers Writers of the seventies - the “generation of the laggards” Sasha Sokolov Venedikt Erofeev Vladimir Makanin Lyudmila Petrushevskaya Arkady and Boris Strugatsky Andrey Bitov We were insatiable readers and became addicted to books.

Four “generations” of modern writers Writers of the eighties - the “generation of perestroika” Vladimir Sorokin Yuri Mamleev Tatyana Tolstaya Alexey Slapovsky Victor Pelevin “This prose revived interest in the “little” man and touched upon previously unknown topics in Russian literature.

The screen downplays the merits of the work, enlarging its shortcomings" (New Literary Review magazine) "In the new situation, the role of the writer has changed. Previously, this workhorse was ridden, now it must walk on its own and offer its working arms and legs” (Tatyana Tolstaya)
