Summary/Abstract: In this article we made a review of the works of Russian literature in which Bukharian Jews are mentioned: for the first time in the 19th century — as an ethnographic and aesthetic discovery in the prose of Nikolai Karazin; at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries (in the prose of Dina Rubina, Marina Chernova, Marina Avrukina) — as a reflection of the previously half-tabulated theme till the stereotype breakdown; in the contemporary works of Yevgeny Abdullayev (Sukhbat Aflatuni) — as a reception with postcolonial overtones, the departing and forever gone nature of the Soviet and post-Soviet everyday life — Bukharian Jews.
