On May 14, searches were held with the current and former employees of the Eksmo Publishing Company, including the employees of the editors of Individuum and Popcorn Books, which are part of the holding. About ten people were detained that day, later it became known that three defendants in the case were sent under house arrest. They are accused of “extremism” due to Quirry literature entering Popcorn Books. According to the human rights project “The First Department”, ten books appear in the criminal case, including the novel by Elena Malisova and Katerina Silvanova “Summer in the Pioneer Tie”, the Besseller of 2022, against which Nikita Mikhalkov and Zakhar Prilepin opposed. We tell you what kind of books these are. For the beginning-a few words about Young Adult to the literature: Why are Quir-Supplies so frequent in it? Ten books appearing in the criminal case have been published at the Popcorn Books publishing house from 2019 to 2022. The whole world at that time experienced the Young Adult boom (abbreviated-Ya, literally-“Young adults”)-a genre that all of the books belong to without exception. Moreover, the main characters of the YAMANS-adolescents, the audience of this genre is quite blurry: they are read at 17 years old, and at 40, and in megacities and in small cities. YA-Romanes are a global literary phenomenon: in the bookstores of China and the USA, Germany and Argentina you will find sections with the Ya-Litrate .ya became extremely popular in the 2010s, when the forums and social networks were still free from corporate or state censorship. Many successful authors of this genre freely published their works online and found the first readers there. Ya is an amazingly democratic phenomenon: these novels write and read the same people. Among the authors and readers there is no intellectual, social and generally any hierarchy. For the world of literature, such horizontal relationships are very rare. And for Russian literature, where writers still often live in captivity of the Soviet myth about “human souls engineers”, such a situation is completely scandalous. There are dependence on the numerous fences of the YA-Litrate-and this is fantasy, alternative history, rompom, melodrama, manga, fan fictions-all of it are united by the main theme of growing up. As a rule, it is achieved by overcoming various kinds of crises associated with the identity of the heroes: age -related, family, ethnic, gender, sexy. Speaking differently, Ya Litigature is a variety literature. And therefore, the plot Quirlinii are almost always found in its Western sample. Until recently, this norm tried to establish itself in the Russian Ya Littleture. You will almost not even find traumatic or political violence that are injured in Western samples, as you will not find unhappy finals. There was no trace of the experimental transgressive Quirry Literature of the twentieth century in the Quir-Various Ya: the same “summer in a pioneer tie” by the standards of modern culture is a completely conventional novel. Submitted to the Quir-in-combat Ya, you will most likely be surprised at the monotony of characters, plots, conflicts and even authors. But this, oddly enough, is the reader’s attractiveness of the Ya-Romaniacs: people familiar to you describe the problems you know according to a familiar scheme. And this is perhaps the reason why most Quire-Romanias YA somehow broadcast the same scenario to resolve personal crises: adoption of identity is possible only peacefully. Lighted out to be the one you are, because this is the only way to avoid violence – this, if you generalize, their most “extremist” proposal to the reader.
