Abstract

The article focuses on the theme of tolerance depicted in two books "The Funeral Party" and "Daniel Stein, Interpreter," by Liudmila Ulitskaia, based on the history of Russia in the twentieth century. It states that lives of books' hybrid characters with diverse ethnicities and belief systems, deliver the message of the need for tolerance to resolve social conflicts in Russian culture. Moreover, Ulitskaia's works have raised cultural and religious controversies and criticisms due to the alleged neglect to ethnic Russians and Orthodoxy.
