Abstract

This research investigates the structural and functional interplay between "miraculous" and "real" components in contemporary Russian and Uzbek prose. By synthesizing the theoretical frameworks of magical realism with the cultural specificities of the post-Soviet space, the study develops a typology of narrative techniques. The analysis focuses on how these modes process historical trauma, ecological crises, and national identity. The findings reveal that while Russian authors (Pelevin, Vodolazkin) often use the miraculous to deconstruct linear history and materialist dogmas, Uzbek authors (Dustmuhammad, Fitrat’s tradition) utilize it to revitalize spiritual archetypes and integrate national heritage into a global existential context.
