The paper discusses artistic portrayal of an ethnic migrant in the modern Russian drama on the example of the play “Khach” (2014) by U. B. Gitsareva. The author focuses on the way migration is described and what are the meanings that inform this social phenomenon in the play. The play`s poetics is about giving a voice to migrants and distinguishing them from the mute mass, which organically fits into general tendency of Documentary Theater. The study highlights the concept of “strangeness” (“Otherness”), which is realized here both through a spatial chronotope and artistic objectivity; identifies and systematizes discursive means and mechanisms for constructing the image of an ethnic migrant, reveals perception and attitude of the host community towards the ethnic migrants, explores characteristics attributed to him in the host environment, analyzes how the topic of public recognition is embodied in everyday language and indicates strategies for migrants to overcoming “strangeness” (“otherness”). The author also substantiates the issue`s relevance for literary research. The choice of the paper`s subject is determined by the lack of studies of the given issue in terms of the modern Russian literature. As the analysis shows the play “Khach” is a comprehensive attempt at generalization, built into both the socio-psychological and ideological context.

In the article an attempt is made to apply the idea of nomadism to the process of transforming literary themes and plots that have taken shape and are fixed in the framework of certain national and cultural paradigms. In this case, it is a process of transforming such a topic, suchs so significant for Russian literature of the 20th century, as the Civil War in Russia. At present, it is experiencing a unique revival, but the means for its artistic implementation change significantly, as can be seen from the comparison of two contemporary novels dedicated to this topic: L. Yuzefovich’s “Winter Road” and A. Makushinsky’s “City in the Valley”. As a result of the analysis, it is concluded that in the sense of literary and artistic psychology, which assumes living in an image, the topic of the Civil War in Russia can be considered as closed, while the resources of historical evidence are able to open a new emotional, intellectual and artistic potential for it.

Yuri Vasilyevich Bondarev is one of the well-known names of 20th century Russian literature, and he is one Russian writer familiar to Turkish readers. A successful author of war prose, Bondarev attracted the attention of the Turkish audience with a wide range of literary works which includes novels, novellas, short stories, poems, articles, essays, interviews, etc. In this respect, the years in which he produced writings on the universal theme of war have an important place in Turkish politics. Bondarev began to be published in Turkey during the politization process following the military coup (1980) and he continued to be present in Turkey until the day he died. Especially in the 80’s when he was adopted as a war prose writer he was a guide for left-wing people in the struggle after the events of September 12. It is worth noting that the recent significant increase of interest in Bondarev’s work among Turkish linguists and philologists indicates that he is popular with the Turkish reader no less than the recognized classics of Russian literature. In this article, Bondarev’s position in Turkey from past to present will be analyzed in view of the studies on him in Turkish press and literature, and it will be emphasized that the author engrossed the Turkish reader with his artistic expertise and the ideology relayed through his works.

Processes typical of the Swedish business language during the modern era were described. The study is of high importance, because this functional style of the Swedish language has been insufficiently investigated despite the regulation and normalization processes in it are of obvious interest to specialists in the Germanic languages. The main research method is synchronic analysis enabling examination and description the material in terms of the existing norms. A wide range of examples were provided to illustrate that in the modern era the language of law gradually gets closer to the language of notifications, rules, orders, regulations, etc., i.e., to documents that are usually implied when talking about officialese (the official and business style). It was concluded that the modern period was marked by not only the distinction between these two stylistic types of text, but also by the fact that they both acquired features common to Swedish non-fiction texts (sakprosan). In the 19th century, these processes were not very evident and, despite some minor innovations, the Swedish business language still contained a number of archaic features revealed in the so-called “substantival sickness” (substantivsjukan). A fundamental change took place in the 20th century and is associated with the spelling reform of 1906, as well as significant changes in such elements of the Swedish business language as syntax, morphology, and vocabulary that emerged mostly in the second half of the 20th century. The results obtained are of great importance for studying the Swedish stylistics, as well as for understanding the essence and roles of language policy in the process of normalizing and codifying the literary language.

Remake as a Form of the Dialogue with the Classics (Nikolai Gogol’s ‘The Overcoat' as an Inspiration in Russian Literature in the End of the 20th Century and the Beginning of the 21st Century) The article is devoted to the very recent phenomenon in contemporary Russian literature – to a remake. The subject of this research is the literary ‘dialogue’ between classical short story (The Overcoat by Nikolay Gogol) and Russian literary works in the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century. In scope, there is a micro-novel of Vladimir Voinovich The Fur Hat, then Dmitry Gorchev’s novel The Phone and Vladimir Shinkariev’s work The Flat, as well as Bashmachkin – a drama written by Oleg Bogaev. The interest that contemporary authors demonstrate in Gogol’s work is a result of the problems described which still appear to be current. This is also an attempt to make Russian classics contemporary and reinterpret the 20th century novel simultaneously. The methods of bringing ‘Gogol’s text’ up to date in the above-mentioned works present the wide range of possibilities that remake gives. Voinovich put social and political principles of Soviet state in the first place. The Table of Ranks together with its submission of an individual towards the state has been deeply analyzed. In Gorchev’s and Shinkariev’s stories contemporary Bashmachkins – ‘little men’, eager to fulfill their dreams about better life – are presented. What is more, those texts show a very interesting picture of Russian reality in the beginning of 21st century ruled by lawlessness, corruption and money. The most original approach to Gogol’s work was presented by Bogaev in Bashmachkin’s story continuation. However, the main character is the overcoat who is administering justice on behalf of a dying hero. The remake-sequel is not only a modernized version of Gogol’s plot but also a new text growing up from a postmodern game. A proposed analysis of the above-mentioned Russian remakes presents many different ways a classic literature text can be modernized thanks to this kind of adaptation. However, on the ground of Russian literature, a remake is above all a pursuit of a dialogue with the classics, an attempt to modernize the problematic aspects and emphasize timeless contents.

Современная русская литература вызывает большой интерес у китайских русистов, и количество научных работ по теме начиная с 80-х годов прошлого века постоянно увеличивается. В данной статье на основании китайских баз данных обобщены результаты работы китайских русистов в области изучения современной русской литературы, а также анализируются имеющиеся актуальные проблемы и перспективы ее изучения. В исследованиях китайских ученых в целом можно выделить два основных направления: 1) посвященные конкретным писателям, таким как Александр Солженицын, Валентин Распутин, Виктор Астафьев, Юрий Бондарев, Людмила Улицкая, Виктор Пелевин, Владимир Маканин, Сергей Довлатов, Татьяна Толстая, Владимир Сорокин, Людмила Петрушевская, Венедикт Ерофеев, Борис Акунин, Алексей Варламов, Ольга Славникова, Даниил Гранин, Виктор Ерофеев, Михаил Шишкин, Анатолий Ким, Роман Сенчин, Сергей Есин, Георий Владимов, Андрей Битов, Захар Прилепин, Олег Павлов, Александр Иличевский, Елена Колядина, Михаил Елизаров, Борис Екимов, Александр Проханов, Марк Харитонов, Михаил Бутов, Андрей Волос, Гузель Яхина и др.; 2) исследования общего характера — по тенденциям развития современной русской литературы, ее направлениям, школам, литературным премиям. В литературоведческих исследованиях на современном этапе выделяют следующие основные проблемы: 1) отсутствие работ по драматургии и поэзии; 2) дисбаланс в изучении творчества конкретных русских писателей; 3) недостаточный анализ современной русской литературы в долгосрочной перспективе; 4) медленное формирование у китайских русистов собственных теорий о современной русской литературе и новых методов ее изучения. Chinese Russianists are highly interested in Modern Russian literature. The number of academic research devoted to Russian literature has been gradually increasing since the 1980s. The article analyzes Chinese databases and generalizes the results of Chinese Russianists’ works. It analyzes relevant issues and prospects of investigation. The research conducted by Chinese scholars can be roughly divided into two major groups: 1) research devoted to individual writers, such as Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Valentin Rasputin, Viktor Astafyev, Lyudmila Ulitskaya, Viktor Pelevin, Vladimir Makanin, Sergey Dovlatov, Tatyana Tolstaya, Vladimir Sorokin, Lyudmila Petrushevskaya, Venedikt Yerofeyev, Boris Akunin, Aleksey Varlmaov, Olga Slavnikova, Daniil Granin, Viktor Yerofeyev, Mikhail Shishkin, Anatoly Kim, Roman Senchin, Sergey Yesin, Georgy Vladimov, Andrey Bitov, Zakhar Prilepin, Oleg Pavlov, Aleksandr Ilichevsky, Elena Koladina, Mikhail Yelizarov, Boris Yekimov, Aleksandr Prokhanov, Mark Kharitonov, Mikhail Butov, Andrey Volos, Guzel Yakhina, and others; 2) research devoted to general issues, such as tendencies of modern Russian literature development, trends, schools, literary awards. Modern literary research experience the following problems: 1) no works are devoted to drama and poetry; 2) research devoted to some individual writers is misbalanced; 3) long-term analysis of modern Russian literature is insufficient; 4) it takes Chinese Russianists long to formulate their own theories about modern Russian literature and new methods of literary investigation.

The article is devoted to the specifics of studying the industrial labour force of Russia in the 1920s - 1930s in Russian historiography. The various stages of study from the 1920s through the 1930s and up to the last years are concerned. The relevance of the study is due to several factors. These include contradictions in the assessments of Bolshevik modernization of the 1920s and 1930s; projected labour force shortages in modern Russia; as well as the existing labour force shortage in industry at the moment. This determines the relevance of studying the historical period, which was characterized by the most acute personnel problems in the country. The novelty of the study is due to the fact that in modern Russian historiography there is no holistic, integrated view of the problems of the labour force potential formation of Russian industry in the 1920s and 1930s. It is noted that there is no research aimed at analyzing the historiography of these problems. The main stages of the study of industrial labour force are highlighted. The analysis of scientific works correlated with each stage of the study of the topic is performed. The problems and methodology of each stage are considered. A review of a wide range of scientific papers both articles and thesis is presented.
