Svetlana Aleksievici, the 2015 literature Nobel Prize winner, goes through an original formation from journalism to non-fictional literature, attracting numerous discussions on the topic and method of her writings. The books of this author have a well-defined subject, approached by numerous respondents, who have different viewpoints regarding the communist and post-communist history of the Russian/soviet and post-soviet space. Beyond the panoramic events and mentality of the era, the explanations of those interviewed offer a synthesis which is presented from a number of perspectives, especially emphasizing the ideal for freedom and the diagnosis for hopes and lack of fulfilments. The new perspective of Svetlana Aleksievici’s works is that of a journalism included in a literary model, explained and applied in her fascinating, profound and topical books.
