Z HISTORII ROSYJSKIEJ LITERATURY EMIGRACYJNEJ
(1920–1940)
Abstract
Memory is a mechanism that organizes human experiences and facilitates the interpretation of
reality. Descriptions of this experience may be found in literature (biographies, memoirs). In a
book, where the registering of human thought may occur, memory has three meanings:
material, symbolic and functional. The author attempts to analyze the history of Russian First
Wave migrant literature (1920-1940), where a memory is a special tool for narration. This
literature is concerned with the issues of losing roots of ancestors; connection to the homeland
and the theme of perpetuating memory. To exemplify this phenomenon, migrant writings of
Iwan were chosen. Memory establishes the composition and philosophy of his works, and as a
whole they are a philosophical treaty on the subjects of human memory, time and transcience.
