The essays provide a deep analysis of Russian literary and cultural responses to the West, particularly focusing on themes such as exile, identity, displacement, and the critique of Western values from the standpoint of individuals who have experienced both Soviet and post-Soviet realities. The anthology includes examinations of works by notable Russian émigrés, such as Joseph Brodsky, Vasily Aksyonov, Eduard Limonov, and Aleksandr Zinoviev, providing insights into their experiences of exile, the cultural clash between East and West, and their literary depictions of Western life. Through various literary lenses, the book also delves into the portrayal of Western society in Soviet criticism and how émigré writers reflected on their homeland after experiencing life in exile. The collection offers a compelling examination of how these writers navigated issues of belonging, cultural identity, and their complex relationships with the West. The volume will be particularly valuable to students of Russian literature, émigré studies, and cross-cultural analysis. -- Contents: Introduction; 1.
