Abstract

Fall of Soviet Union as a support of totalitarianism in many respects stipulated literary tendencies of post-soviet and post-socialistic countries and those facts that followed it. Extremely tense reality so had outridden with artistic invention that artistic prose ranswered to this new challenge of time with movement from conceived and composed to nonfictional
text.

Such author is a writer Shorena Lebanidze, whose even the first book’s title (“Permit to Conflict Zone” – 2014) indicates her, as a journalist’s, that time special correspondent of independent newspaper “7 Days” scope of work and local.
