Àííîòàöèÿ: Tokareva continues the tradition of Russian realism in 21st-century Russian literature. In her works, she offers a realistic portrayal of 21st-century Russian society. Tokareva has closely observed, understood, and experienced the various changes that occurred in Russia during the 20th century. She has expertly depicted the impact of these changes on Russian society in her literature. The short novel "The Sagittarius Man" is a case in point. Published in 2005 in the collection "Zen Vizh Branya," Tokareva explores the changes that occurred after the disintegration of Russia in 1991 and their impact on ordinary people. Kostya is the main character. Kostya represents Russian youth. The disintegration of Russia was not just a political and geographical change but also impacted Russia's social, cultural, and economic systems. Kostya experiences how, in a single day, a socialist country became democratic, socialist policies and systems changed, and thousands of people became homeless and unemployed after the disintegration. In this novel, Kostya is a victim of this. The author highlights the family problems caused by the economic crisis that followed the collapse. She also satirizes the shortcomings of the current government and its system. She shows how bribery, black marketing, and other crimes are spreading. This short novel also highlights the rise of industrialists, capitalists, and the mafia in post-disintegration Russia.
