Summary/Abstract: The radical/ far-reaching changes since the end of the soviet dictatorship do not simly tell us of a lost meaning of literatur. A new, expanding bookmarket reflects the russian society in many ways and creates a new generation of authors with a changed role-consciousness. History is very present: there is a fight about or against (the russian) history, history is reduced on her totalitarian time or we have the attempt to forget (aspects of) the historic context with the purpose to lose an ideologic exceptional position. Even the russian classic is analysed on its responibility for dictatorship and terror. The old temples are razed/demolishesd, the market with all his banalities prospers - for Russia something exciting new.
