Transgressive Practices of the Subject in the Late Soviet Underground Literature

The work is dedicated to the problem of the subject of late Soviet underground literature. The analysis of subjectivity using the methodology of gender studies makes it possible to understand how uncensored authors articulated their marginal positions and alternative identities in contrast to the dominant (gender) discourse of the Soviet era.This study aims to identify an underground subject through gender and connection with transgressive discursive practices, using the example of the oeuvre of O. Sedakova, E. Schwartz, K. Unksova and N. Iskrenko. Two types of gender transgression are distinguished in the work: the first is cultural-historical, diachronic, genetically related to the worldview models of the Silver Age and implemented in the works of Sedakova and Schwartz, and the second is socio-cultural, synchronous, defining the subject through the social context relevant to it and the ideas of late Soviet feminism, which we see in the texts of Unksova and Iskrenko.
