Lyudmila Petrushevskaya: Bravely Exposing the Depths of Human Suffering During the Soviet Union and Beyond
Lyudmila has played an important role in Soviet and post-Soviet literature, as a voice speaking out for change in censorship. Despite her work being repeatedly banned, she continued to write extensively, and it was not until glasnost and perestroika that her realistic portrayal of all parts of life for the urban Russian citizen, which often was dark and dismal, was unbanned and released for public acknowledgment. Gaining widespread and even international popularity during perestroika, some would say Petrushevskaya was ahead of her time when compared with other women’s prose writers, as well as practitioners of chernukha, a gloomy Russian literary style. After thoroughly researching Petrushevskaya’s writing, five observed common themes of her writing are defined; human suffering and examining the human psyche, unfiltered honesty and implementation taboo physical phenomena, prominent female characters, representing the ordinary person, and family and relationship dysfunction. Within this thesis is included a translation of one of Petrushevskaya’s short stories named “That Kind of Girl” (“Такая девочка” 1988), along with a literary analysis of the piece. This thesis aims to show readers how Lyudmila Petrushevskaya influenced Soviet readers before and after the fall of glasnost, as well as how the author was influenced by events in her own life. Additionally, it intends to give English-speaking audiences a deeper glimpse into the realities of Russians during communist times, examining how Lyudmila Petrushevskaya utilized her voice to portray the inner sufferings of humans in a raw, unfiltered manner, despite active efforts to censor the talented writer

The heroines of Lyudmila Ulitskaya, portrayal of women's everyday life
Cilj je ovog diplomskog rada pokazati na koji način autorica Ljudmila Ulicka prikazuje svakodnevicu svojih junakinja. Analizom junakinja iz njezinih poznatih djela Sonječka i druge priče i Iskreno vaš, Šurik moguće je uočiti kako autorica na različite načine obrađuje teme koje se smatraju obilježjima suvremene ženske proze poput tjelesnosti i seksualnosti, invaliditeta, starenja, majčinstva i snalaženja u teškim životnim uvjetima. Opisujući žensku stvarnost Ulicka prepliće biologiju i psihologiju, a u središte navedenih djela stavlja individualno žensko iskustvo.The goal of this thesis is to demonstrate the ways in which the author Lyudmila Uliskaya portrays the everyday life of her female protagonists.

Otherworldly Space in Novel by Lyudmila Ulitskaya “Kukotsky Enigma”
The features of the image of the otherworldly space in the novel “The Kukotsky Enigma” are considered. The relevance of the topic is due to Lyudmila Ulitskaya’s understanding of the text as a tool with which one can “see the otherworldly”. The concepts of “otherworldly” and “otherworldly space” have been differentiated. The main principles of the image of the otherworldly space in the novel are highlighted: mirroring, carnivalization, its timeless arrangement. Attention is paid to the level organization of space in the novel. The mythologemes of water, sand and fire as fillers of space are investigated. It is noted that the novel “The Kukotsky Enigma” is characterized by the connection of the other world with reality through a number of border spaces: dreams, motives of water and illness. It is noted that the water in the novel is a “portal” to the other world, in which it is transformed into sand; the possibility of rebirth in the Middle World, the author solves the problems of the moral and philosophical order. It is concluded that the Middle World desert is associated with the female womb, where the characters are experiencing a new birth. It is shown that the space also determines the change of the onomapoetic code: the characters traveling in the Middle World change their names to nicknames, and the names remain with the characters who crossed the border of no return and remained permanent inhabitants of the other world

Things - emotions - identity in selected short stories from the collection "Childhood forty nine" by Lyudmila Ulitskaya
Artykuł zawiera analizę trzech opowiadań Ludmiły Ulickiej [Woskowa kaczuszka (Восковая уточка), Gwoździe (Гвозди), Dziadek-szeptacz (Дед-шептун)], których bohaterami są dzieci. Ich najwcześniejsze doświadczenia życiowe, emocje i relacje z innymi ludźmi wpływające na kształtowanie
się tożsamości znajdują się w centrum uwagi pisarki. Celem artykułu jest zwrócenie uwagi na rolę,
jaką w formowaniu się tożsamości bohaterów odgrywają przedmioty. Przedmioty powszednie nabierają w oczach dzieci cech niezwykłych i wywołują silne reakcje emocjonalne: zaciekawienie lub
pożądanie. Emocje te pełnią w życiu dzieci kluczową rolę, gdyż inicjują proces uświadamiania sobie własnego „ja”. Emocje o dużym natężeniu wyznaczają początek przechodzenia od dzieciństwa do dorosłości. Kontekst dla analizy stanowią inne teksty L. Ulickiej, w których autorka porusza
temat relacji człowieka z rzeczami.The article analyses three short stories by Lyudmila Ulitskaya [Wax Duckling (Восковая уточка),
Granddad Whisperer (Дед-шептун) and Nails (Гвозди)] whose protagonists are children. Their
earliest life experiences, emotions and relationships influencing the formation of identity, are at the
centre of the writer’s attention. The aim of this paper is to draw attention to the role that objects
play in the formation of characters’ identities. Ordinary objects take on an extraordinary quality
in children’s eyes and evoke strong emotional reactions: curiosity or desire. These emotions play an
important role in children’s lives, as they initiate the process of becoming aware of one’s own self.
Intense emotions mark the beginning of the transition from childhood to adulthood. The context
for the analysis is provided by Ulicka’s other texts, in which the author addresses the issue of man’s
relationship with things
