We will have a look at canonized texts such as Pushkin's "Prisoner of the Caucasus" or Lev Tolstoy's "Hadji Murad" but also newer literature such as Zakhar Prilepin's stories or Anna Politkovskaya's writings about the Chechen wars. In order to develop a framework for analysis, we will also study postcolonial theory.
