«Уменьшаю историю до человека»: «Цинковые мальчики» Светланы Алексиевич

Abstract

The article is devoted to “Zinc boys” by Svetlana Aleksievich as a phenomenon of documentary fiction. The problems of the work, the image of the narrator, and the organization of the character world are considered. We are talking about the positions of the “witnesses” of history, their views on the war in Afghanistan and the present of the 1980s, as well as the reception of this text by the public consciousness of the 90s.
