The Myth of the Non-Russian explores the magical realist prose of two non-Slavic authors writing in Russian in the Soviet Union in the 1970's-1980's. Erika Haber argues that these authors juxtaposed their native myth with Soviet myth, thus undermining the Soviet prescription of national conformity in art by suggesting a plurality of worlds and truths.

This work covers the practice of magical realism in the 1970s to 1980s in the Soviet Union. It shows how two non-Slavic Soviet authors, writing in Russian, successfully employed magical realism in rebellion against the prescription of national conformity in art.
