Abstract

The present study aims at providing an overview on the contribution of Russian scholars to the evolution of ‘Life-Writing’ studies. The importance of the formalists’ studies on auto-biography and memoirs (although fragmentary) and the Soviet studies on the ‘dokumentalnaia proza’ are described, as well as the works generated in post-Soviet times both in Russia and abroad. The paper deals with the main problems that remain open, especially the relationship between reality and fiction and the genre question.
