Abstract:The dissolution of the Soviet Union resulted in unprecedented production of Russian literature. In the free market economy, productivity and diversity of contemporary Russian literature greatly outperformed that of the Soviet era. How to evaluate such a literary phenomenon and its progress actually involves major issues including the renewal of literary conceptions and reform of methodologies for observers. Those who cling to the literary cognition of the Soviet era would believe that the progress of the Russian Federation has been at the cost of literature.

Keywords:Post-Soviet; Russia; production of literature; literary cognition
