<p>The purpose of this article is to analyze the storytline of the traject in the works of Russian writers of Russian emigration of the first wave, such as: B.&nbsp;Zaitsev, L.&nbsp;Zurov and E.&nbsp;Chirikov. On the examples of the novels <em>Silence</em> from the autobiographical tetralogy <em>The Journey of Gleb</em> by B.&nbsp;K.&nbsp;Zaitsev and <em>The Ancient Way</em> by L.&nbsp;F.&nbsp;Zurov, the problem of the storyline of the traject in the individually-authorial world views is explored. Analysis of the story by E.&nbsp;Chirikov <em>Between Heaven and Earth</em> allows us to see clearly this situation, embodiedin the genre form of the story. The conducted research helps to make certain of new possibilities of Russian prose of the twentieth century, which is typologically gravitating to the neorealistic type of artistic consciousness, with attention to the ontological spheres of being, to convincing confirmation by the examples presented from ancient times inherent in Russian literature of the <em>paskhal'nost'</em> (Easter character) dominant.<strong><em></em></strong></p>

The Relationship

“Beyond Empire” asks what studying empires from ancient times to the twentieth century tells us about the world today. Crises in the Middle East and the configuration of Europe, China, Africa, the United States, and elsewhere bear the imprint of trajectories into, through, and out of empire. Instead of assuming the “empire-to-nation-state” narrative, it explores the articulations of empire and nation and makes clear that the relationship was uncertain and contested, even in the mid- and late twentieth century. New empires (USSR, Japan, Nazi Germany) arose even as others collapsed, but World War II constituted a break point for winning as well as defeated empires, creating openings to anti-colonial movements but also enabling Western European powers to imagine a future without needing imperial resources in their rivalry with each other. The independent territorial state was not the only objective of political movements in colonial empires, but in the end national independence was what they could get. The juridical equivalence of post-imperial states has not brought about a stable, equitable, or even predictable world order.
