Abstract: 
D. Uffelmann's article proposes the work of I. Abuzyarov as an illuminating example of postcolonial poetics in the literary works of ethnically non-Russian writers from the Russian Federation. It focuses on the short story Chingiz-roman. ["Genghis Novel"] and reads its postcolonial attitudes toward the post communist condition with special attention to its depiction of subaltern masculinity in a nomadic disguise. After distinguishing the practice of nomadism from poststructuralist nomadology and looking into the double readability of "Chingiz-roman", Uffelmann analyzes the implications of playing nomadism in contemporary conditions. Including the intertextual dimension allows him to relate Abuzyarov to the Scythian theme in Russian culture, to carve out the literariness of the nomad motifs, and to conclude that postcoloniality is one of the devices employed by non-Russian writers in postcommunist Russia.
