Выстраивая дистанцию: рецепция соцреалистической эстетики в публицистике писателей-деревенщиков 1970-1980-х годов (Сергей Залыгин и Виктор Астафьев)
The article examines strategies of dissociation from Socialist Realism used by neo-pochvenniki («native soil populist») writers S. Zalygin and V. Astafyev in the 1960–1980s. In addition to criticizing the normativity of socialist realist art and its model hero, Zalygin and Astafyev sought to find an aesthetic and ideological alternative to Socialist Realism, on the one hand, and modernism and the avant-garde, on the other. Grounding themselves in the Russian classical literary tradition, they proclaimed realism to be this alternative. Zalygin, Astafyev, and a number of conservative oriented late-Soviet intellectuals regarded realism and its opponents (Socialist Realism and the avant garde) as fundamentally different modes of representation of «the real» and «the ideal», as well as different strategies of relating to «reality» and the possibilities of its radical transformation.
