Abstract

This paper considers the issue of chronotope, which is the intrinsic interconnection of space and time, as realized in Russian literature. The study examines how Russian authors used the chronotope to thus configure their narrative and laden it with deeper symbolic meaning through a close analysis of select works. However, by reading these texts with respect to their particular temporal and spatial dimensions, the paper addresses the cultural and historical contexts through which the literary imagination of Russian writers is informed. Accordingly, the chronotope, the spatial and temporal image of the world envisioned by Mikhail Bakhtin, is a fundamental structural determinant of narrative that extends beyond particular individual works. Time is inseparable from space and the former founds narrativity while the latter as the site of where time is navigated finds the complex of events. The thought behind this combination of temporal and spatial elements is that it is this combination that brings about the "genres" or "types" of stories that the readers will come across. (Yu & Zhu, 2022). The chronotope appears in various ways in Russian literature as the particular and specific cultural and historical experience inherent to the nation. Here, for example, the theme of the 'historical mission' and the idea of 'suffering and redemption' in the studio of the literary landscapes in a rich way given the sense of purpose through a moral point.
