Russian-language novels of the post-Soviet period and national psychology (based on the example of Zakhar Prilepin’s novel “The Monastery”)

the article examines the reflection of national psychology in Zakhar Prilepin's novel "The Monastery". It is established that the author of the work, as one of the most characteristic features of the national psychology of the Russian person, denotes indifference to his own fate. Making this topic a key one, the writer introduces other motives and themes to it, trying to reveal it as widely as possible: the theme of loss of faith, rejection of spirituality, the motive of Oblomovism. In the center of the novel is the image of a desecrated monastery, thanks to which the writer manages to place the right accents and represent the main problem in a historical perspective.
