My research material arises from a society, which emphasized the importance of modernization, technology and industrialization. River imagery has played a key role in building Russian national identity, and modern man has signified himself throughout the ages using the trope of the river. Additionally, literature has been a significant forum for the public discussion of social issues in Russia. As a fundamental element of human life, the river has been used as a metaphor for a plethora of things in literature. My paper outlines my ecocritical studies of autobiographical Russian prose fiction from the 1970s and the early 1990s with the objective of identifying meanings of the Russian river.
