This article examines apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic themes in contemporary Russian literature, focusing on Dmitry Glukhovsky's recent Post dilogy. It begins by discussing the resurgence of genre fiction in post-Soviet Russia, particularly dystopian and post-apocalyptic narratives as a means of social critique. The analysis then turns to Glukhovsky's Post novels, exploring how they engage with current issues in Russian society through a post-apocalyptic setting. Key themes include environmental devastation, the divide between Moscow and the provinces, religion's subservience to power, and individual responsibility. Glukhovsky uses the post-apocalyptic genre to offer pointed social commentary on contemporary Russia while still maintaining hope for positive change.

This article examines apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic themes in contemporary Russian literature, focusing on Dmitry Glukhovsky's recent Post dilogy. It begins by discussing the resurgence of genre fiction in post-Soviet Russia, particularly dystopian and post-apocalyptic narratives as a means of social critique. The analysis then turns to Glukhovsky's Post novels, exploring how they engage with current issues in Russian society through a post-apocalyptic setting. Key themes include environmental devastation, the divide between Moscow and the provinces, religion's subservience to power, and individual responsibility. Glukhovsky uses the post-apocalyptic genre to offer pointed social commentary on contemporary Russia while still maintaining hope for positive change.
