Summary/Abstract: Dorota Masłowska’s novel White and Red is analysed through a post-dependence lens. It examines the phenomenon of abrogation, i.e. refusal of all categories of imposed culture. The protagonists manifest their national identity through an ag-gressive negation of what is ‘Russkie’, therefore alien. The character of the ‘Russky’--enemy, is obsessively shaped into various configurations, incarnations and types, which are hard to put into definite categories.
