Annotation: Post-Soviet Russian novels vividly reflect the turbulent social reality and the desperate, frenzied national sentiment in Russia. Representative works include those centered on the theme of "despair," exemplified by the writings of Rasputin and Yekimov, and those exploring "madness," as seen in the works of Makanin and Medvedev. The desperate and frenzied national sentiment serves as the central theme running through post-Soviet Russian novels, widely manifested across numerous literary works. Scholars have reached a consensus on this observation.
