«Советские» штампы в пьесах Х. Мюллера

Abstract

In Heiner Mueller’s creative works, a number of plays based on “Soviet” plots are distinguished. Some of them are translations and theatrical adaptations of texts from Soviet literature, some are written “based on”. However, in both cases, Mueller creates his own reality where “Soviet clichés” serve to create a much wider picture of relations between the man and the state. Two options of “Soviet” borrowings are considered in the article: on the level of the story and on the level of linguistic clichés.
