Viewing the mutual interaction of Soviet/Russian literary output with aspects of the dominant culture such as ideology and politics, Nadya Peterson traces the process of mainstream literary change in the context of broader social change. She explores the subversive character for the fantastic orientation, its utopian and apocalyptic motifs, and its dialogical relationship with socialist realism, as it steadily gathered force in the latter Soviet decades.
The shattering of the mythic colossus did not put an end to these opposing forces, but rather diverted them in various unexpected directions - as the author explains in her concluding chapters on the new "alternative" literatures.
