Abstract
The novels Faserland by K. Kracht and Духless by S. Minaev artistically capture the consciousness of the second lost generation, fully formed in the postmodern situation. Postmodern chaos sets a specific style of life, a special perception of the world and a new personal perspective. Confessional form allows the heroes to collect their signs of their presence/reflection in this world. The characteristic features of the second lost generation –conformism, cynicism and unreadiness to sympathize to the near are a defensive reaction to the inconsistency, lack of personality cores and impossibility of the choice of an active life position.
