Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of the formation and development of a patriarchal myth (a myth about exceptional authority and power possessed by a man that allows himself to be placed in the centre of the spiritual and ideological life of society) in the late traditional prose. On the basis of the creative work of B. Ekimov called the last Village Prose writer in a modern critique, it is shown how the image of the Father, the Master of the house and family, which is itself perceived as a small church, is transformed into the image of an authoritative leader, Pinochet. The recovery from the traumatic experience of the Soviet past is a controversial process. The prejudice against the past is still in the mind and culture of the nation and emancipation means going beyond the language barrier.
