The picaresque afforded authors the means to articulate and reflect on the Soviet collective identity, a class-based utopia that rejected imperial power and attempted to deemphasize national allegiances. Combining new readings of canonical works with in-depth analysis of neglected texts, Writing Rogues explores the proliferation of characters left on the sidelines of the communist transition, including gangsters, con men, and petty thieves, many of them portrayed as ethnic minorities. The book engages with scholarship on Soviet subjectivity as well as classical picaresque literature in order to explain how the subversive rogue &#8211; such as Ilf and Petrov\u2019s wildly popular cynic and schemer Ostap Bender &#8211; in the process of becoming a fully fledged Soviet citizen, came to expose and embody the contradictions of Soviet life itself.<\/p>\n<p>Writing Rogues enriches our understanding of how literature was called upon to participate in the construction of Soviet identity. It demonstrates that the Soviet picaresque resonated with individual citizens\u2019 fears and aspirations as it recorded the country\u2019s transformation into the first communist state<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cassio de Oliveira<\/strong> is Associate Professor of Russian and Associate Chair of the Department of World Languages and Literatures at Portland State University. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16893 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/ellisoncenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/03\/de-Oliveira-Headshot-1-750x500.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"183\" height=\"122\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/ellisoncenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/03\/de-Oliveira-Headshot-1-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/ellisoncenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/03\/de-Oliveira-Headshot-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/ellisoncenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/03\/de-Oliveira-Headshot-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/ellisoncenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/03\/de-Oliveira-Headshot-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/ellisoncenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/03\/de-Oliveira-Headshot-1-530x353.jpg 530w, https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/ellisoncenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/03\/de-Oliveira-Headshot-1-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/ellisoncenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/03\/de-Oliveira-Headshot-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/ellisoncenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/03\/de-Oliveira-Headshot-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/ellisoncenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/03\/de-Oliveira-Headshot-1-375x250.jpg 375w, https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/ellisoncenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/03\/de-Oliveira-Headshot-1-1140x760.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 183px) 100vw, 183px\" \/> His research focuses on Russian literature and film, as well cultural exchanges between Russia and foreign cultures, especially in the Soviet period.
