Imaginea Rusiei în romanul lui Miloš Crnjanski, „Migrațiile”
Russia's Image in Miloš Crnjanski's Novel "Migrations"

Summary/Abstract: This study of Tsernianski’s masterful twentieth-century historical novel Migrationsfollows two paths: i) a literary analysis of the overarching plot, individual narrative episodes,thematics, as well as the cast of characters in order to bring into relief not only Tsernianski’s superb narrative skill but also the texture of the social fresco he paints; and ii) an examination of the desire to emigrate to Russia which was alive in the Serbian imagination in the eighteenth century and most vividly in the consciousness of the novel’s main character, Vuk Isakovic. This study identifies and systematizes references to Russia with respect both to the fictional world and imagination of the main character and to the historical reality motivating the novel’s action.
