| Summary: | In this article, author analyses postcolonial trauma in Vasiliy Golovanov’s novel Island, or an Excuse for Pointless Travelling (also known under the second English title: Island or A Justification for Meaningless Travel). The analyzed novel reveals many examples how the Russian/soviet colonialism methods worked by decades as well as the results of colonial pressure on native Kolguyev island inhabitants. After the fall of the Soviet Empire, situation of Nenets people was very similar to situation of other nations after Western colonial empires fall: Nenets as Africans or Asians also suffer postcolonial trauma. Franz Fanon described French colonialism in Algeria, Golovanov described soviet colonialism on Kolguyev. |
