In the first part of the article the author presents phenomena characteristic of current Russian social fiction, focusing on genres such as alternative history, futuro-historical fiction and alternative futurology. In the Russian literature of the last two decades, futurological forecasts draw attention. As part of social-political projects, they offer an alternative to the real history of Russia in the 20th century. The second part of the paper discusses the novel 2017 by Olga Slavnikova, considered one of the most interesting examples of alternative futurology.
The article contains a comparison of the works by the representatives of the youngest genera- tion of writers: Dorota Masłowska and Irina Dienieżkina. The author makes a short review of the opinions on the characteristics and attitudes regarded widely as stereotypical and then tries to determine to what extent, and if at all, they are translated into the behaviour and views of Masłowskas and Dienieżkinas characters? What brings closer, and what makes these two youth subcultures different? Seeking answers to such a question, the author reflects three areas of human activity: love, male-female relationships and a language (the youth culture slang). The analysis determines the assimilation of these two youth communities, first of all due to the common fascination with mass culture, pop culture. The said assimilation is accompanied by the simultane- ous disappearance of the characteristics widely recognised as stereotypical.
