representing labor in late- and post-Soviet culture

[Perova Natasha]

The first story that comes to my mind is Alexei Lukyanov's "Hight Pressure"
translated by Marian Schwartz (in the collection "Squaring the Circle",
Glas, 2010). The story is about modern-day working class and is based on
first-hand experiences of the author who works as a blacksmith in Solikamsk
(Northern Urals).
Also Roman Senchin's novel MINUS, translated by Arch Tait.
