THE ARTISTIC WORLD OF V. PELEVIN IN THE WORK "GENERATION "P"

Abstract

The intellectual level and philosophical potential of apophatic theology and hesychasm will not yield to the best examples of Eastern wisdom. Why did Pelevin, collecting the most diverse, exotic religious systems and concepts far from us, ignore what is closest? Why is everything going around and around without even mentioning such a powerful religious tradition as Christianity, which has played a significant role in world spiritual history? There are two possible answers to this question. Either Christianity is so alien to Pelevin that he does not even want to mention it. Or it is hidden somewhere deep inside, kept secret, like a treasure.
