The Great Patriotic War in Modern Russian Children’s Literature: Looking for an Alternative

Abstract

В современной России Великая Отечественная война остается важным элементом официальной мемориальной политики и коллективной памяти, главным образом в виде героического мифологизированного нарратива. Но этот героический миф затрудняет, а порой и табуирует возможность выражения болезненного военного опыта. В статье рассматривается, как табуированный травматичный опыт («альтернативный нарратив») находит воплощение в современной русской литературе, предназначенной детям и подросткам. Этот вопрос исследуется на основе обращения к текстам повестей «Облачный полк» Э. Веркина (2012), «Следы» Е. Басовой (2017) и «Сад имени т. с.» М. Ботевой (2018). Автор статьи рассматривает эти произведения в контексте современного издательского репертуара детской литературы, выясняет, какие представления о Великой Отечественной войне читатель может из них получить и какими художественными средствами это представление формируется. На основе выборочного анализа читательских рецензий, позволяющих судить о некоторых особенностях читательской рецепции, выявляется значение этих повестей в создании «альтернативного нарратива» о Великой Отечественной войне в российской детской литературе сегодня. Эти произведения показывают, как авторская интенция позволяет читателю стать свидетелем описанных событий, как стремление передать культурную память в художественном тексте, обращенном к детям, приводит авторов к поиску новой поэтики. Ключевые слова: Великая Отечественная война в детской литературе, Эдуард Веркин, Евгения Басова, Мария Ботева, память и травма в детской литературе, современная проза для подростков.

In modern Russia, the Great Patriotic War remains an important elementof official memorial policy and collective memory, mainly in the form of aheroic mythological narrative. But this heroic myth makes it difficult, andsometimes taboo, to express painful war experience. This article examineshow the taboo traumatic experience (“alternative narrative”) is embodied incontemporary Russian literature for children and adolescents. This ques-tion is investigated on the basis of the reference to the texts of the novels“Cloud Regiment” (Oblachnyy polk) by E. Verkin (2012), “Traces” (Sledy)by E. Basova (2017) and “The t. g. Garden” (Sad imeni t. s.) by M. Boteva(2018). The author of the article considers these texts in the context ofmodern publishing repertoire of children’s literature, finds out what ideasabout the Great Patriotic War the reader can get from these works and whatartistic means this representation is formed with. Then, relying on severalsamples of the reader’s reception of selected works, the author makes someconclusions about the meaning of these examples of alternative narrativeabout the Great Patriotic War today. These books provide an example ofhow reading allows the reader to become a witness of the described events,thus illustrating the relationship between cultural memory and poetics.
