Abstract
The article focuses on the memoirs about Gulag produced by the amateur writers in the 1960s - mid-1980s. The theoretical framework for the study is the clari cation of the relationship between the poetics of the memoirs and the artistic structure of the Soviet novel. While the authors working on their manuscripts during the Thaw were strongly in uenced by the of cial discourses and tended to use the literary models of Socialist Realism, those writing in the 1970s-1980s chose the narrative strategies close to 'labor camp prose' and autobiographical narratives of the dissidents.
