This thesis is devoted to the analysis of literary works by a number of the leading
post-Soviet Russophone Kazakhstani writers: Anuar Duisenbinov, Bakhyt Kairbekov,
Diusenbek Nakipov, Nikolai Verёvochkin, Il’ia Odegov and Iurii Serebrianskii.

Kazakhstan since the country’s independence – with the rise of the new generation of
the writers in the 2000s, Russian literature in Kazakhstan transformed into Russophone
Kazakhstani literature. In this thesis, I argue for the difference between the younger and
older generations of the contemporary Russophone Kazakhstani writers – the latter is
focused on post-traumatic sense of loss and absence, while the former is characterized
by a more positive identification concentrated on the new national post-independent
realities of Kazakhstan...
