| Summary | The article presents an outline of the gradual development of the literature of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug — Yugra from the perspective of representation of colonial issues. It is noted that the literary reception of the processes of external and internal colonization of the Middle Ob region falls on the initial stage (1930s) of the formation of the regional fiction and expresses the idea of the need for the oncoming movement of different cultures as the most important condition for the prosperous of man’s existence on Yugra land. In the post-war period, the idea associated with the inevitability of a fundamental restructuring of the traditional consciousness of the indigenous population in new cultural and historical conditions is further developed and embodied in the image of a new man of the North, striving for intellectual and spiritual development, able to keep up with the times. The problem of a person’s choice of his life path in a rapidly changing reality becomes especially acute in the 1960s–1980s Yugra literature against the backdrop of social processes associated with the industrial development of the Tyumen North. At the turn of the 20th–21st centuries, the critical perspective of understanding the consequences of those processes that radically changed the life of the peoples of the Middle Ob region sharply increases and often actualizes apocalyptic motives in the structure of the Yugra writers’ literary narrative. In recent years, the colonial discourse in the works of the Yugra writers has shown a trend towards a decrease in socio-political severity and an increase in the role of the ontological and mythological context. Increasingly, the region is being positioned as part of the all-Russian and world space, where lifecreating energy is concentrated, capable of saving humanity from a global catastrophe. | ||
