Summary:The article deals with the fictional prose about the Shoah written in Russian in the last two decades. Observations show that the amount of such literature has been significantly reduced, and most of its authors now belong to Russian-Israeli literature. An analysis of its poetic and ideological attitudes leads to the conclusion that the main goal of this literature today is the individualistic pedagogy of the celebration of life, and among its strategies the main one is a culture cognition practice. Among the contemporary writers mentioned in the article are Elena Makarova, Alex Tarn, Daniel Kluger, Eli Luksemburg, Elizaveta Mikhailichenko and Yurii Nesis, Grigorii Kanovich, Liudmila Ulitskaya and Boris Akunin.
