LXXII}, number={No 1}, pages={91-104}, journal={Slavia Orientalis}, howpublished={online}, year={2023}, publisher={Komitet Słowianoznawstwa PAN}, abstract={Yulia Yakovleva is a little‐known Russian writer whose work has not received the attention of researchers in Russia, much less abroad. However, Yakovleva’s books are immensely interesting not only because of the fundamental themes for everyone touched upon in them, but also because of the entirely new, previously unseen genre she employs, in which the writer has combined historical events and realism with elements of fabulous fiction. With fantastical elements and the drabness of time and space, Yakovleva presents a picture of the Stalinist repression and the functioning of children within it. Plunging her protagonist into a sick, mentally distorted space and time, the writer shows his forced maturation, moments of transition from childhood to adulthood and vice versa. The main aim of our article is to show the techniques as well as the literary results that have helped the writer to present the image of “children of enemies of the people” more convincingly with the help of the mentioned literary innovation.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={The Tragedy of Stalinist Repression Through the Eyes of Children of “Enemies of the Nation” in Yulia Yakovleva’s Fabulous Transformation Children of the Crow}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/127875/PDF-MASTER/2023-01-SOR-07.pdf}, doi={10.24425/slo.2023.145199}, keywords={Yulia Yakovleva, children, Stalinist repression, grey color, time and space}, }
