Abstract: Marja Sorvari’s Displacement and (Post)memory in Post-Soviet Women’s Writing explores how contemporary Russian women authors—Ulitskaya, Chizhova, Alexievich, and Stepanova—address memory, displacement, and identity in post-Soviet Russia. Through themes of “lived religion,” polyphony, and postmemory, Sorvari reveals how their works resist official narratives and reconfigure collective memory as an act of cultural and political resistance.
