Abstract
The article is devoted to comprehending the image of the hero in the stories of Zakhar Prilepin. With the help of typological and holistic methods of analyzing a literary work, the most important properties that characterize the “new hero” in the writer’s works established marginality, lack of clear life guidelines, and a tendency to reflection. With the “difference” of fate – the main characters in the collection “Sin”: experiencing a tragic military experience – Zakhar (“Sergeant”), who becomes the savior of his soldiers. The heroes depicted as genuine; looking for their own place in the new socio-cultural realities, the unifying link in the stories of the collection “Sin” is the names of the main characters – Zakhar.
