Tolstoy, etc.), through them presenting a picture of the difficult Soviet era. Baranskaya is the forerunner of contemporary Russian women's prose. Her main character is a young woman who is looking for her spiritual space, squeezed between work, home and emotional obligations. Kurochkin takes us back to the complicated era of the struggle for the future of the Russian countryside, while Roman Senčin observes in his urban novel a group of friends who gather for the weekend, dissatisfied with their everyday life. Finally, Alexander Kuznetsov Tuljanin's novel Paganin, one of the best Russian novels of recent years, deals with the theme of the Russian north: lawlessness and disrespect for nature, which mercilessly hits back at man's insolence. These works thematically broaden the contemporary horizons of Russian prose, bringing the Serbian reader a new and exciting view of classical and contemporary Russian prose production.
