„AS FOR RUSSIA, I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT IS ANYMORE” — EVOLUTION OF WORLD-FEELING IN THE CRIMEBY ASIA VOLOSHINA IN RELATION TO OTHER HER PLAYS

Summary/Abstract: Asia Voloshina’s latest play, Crime, has been written during Russia’s current and ongoing war against Ukraine. Voloshina places her tragic heroine and other char-acters in the space of text messages to family, friends, a loved one and amidst authentic media reports about the war. Thus, the action of the play takes place on a smartphone screen. In this article, Crime is addressed in the context of the evolving view of Russia and Russians and in relation to earlier works by Voloshi-na, Гибнет хор, Дания тюрьма, Человек из рыбы and Подтвердите, что вы человек. The interpretation has been extended to include the notion of necro-im-perialism as defined by Nikolai Karpicki.
