Mother and daughter : difficult relationship (based on women Russian literature)

An article is an attempt to delve into exceptional type of bond that forms between two generations of women: mothers and daughters. Russian contemporary literature (Olga Slavnikova, Maria Arbatova, Irina Vasilkova, Lyudmila Petrushevskaya) taken into consideration portrays strong, exceptionally emotional, often traumatic relationship between mothers and daughters. On the one hand, we are interested in the description of this bond that reveals features of autobiographical narration. On the other hand, we consider this bond within the confines of intergenerational conflict and external conditions that influence on different perception of reality by both sides.
