- Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of the representational author’s strategies used in the modern Russian mass literature. In the situation when Russian culture has lost the conception of “literature centrism”, the analysis of different ways of classical texts appropriation has become rather current. The article deals with the phenomenon of the “game” of the contemporary mass culture with classical literature and the complex of new mythologies emerging as a result. In addition, the article identifies the reasons for the frequency of appeal to Leo Tolstoy’s novel Anna Karenina. A wide mosaic of contemporary literary field explains the genre polyphony of the dialogue with the classical novel, which has become a specific code of contemporary mass culture – from remake to sequel, from comic book to fiction novel, from trash to postmodern fairy tale, from cyberpunk to fanfiction (fanfic)
