Obsession with demons is not only the plot of classical horror, but also a very common reality of the life of the Russian village of the XIX century. The monograph by Kristin Vorobets considers the phenomenon of cliché as a social and cultural phenomenon with a wide range of meanings endowed by various groups of Russian society. The author examines the behavior of cliques from different points of view, ranging from popular Orthodoxy and secular rationalism to literary practices, especially important for Russian culture. K. Vorobets demonstrates that cliché is part of a kind of ritual drama, and for its understanding it is necessary to turn to the socio-cultural context of the life of peasant women in the Russian Empire of the XIX century. Kristin Vorobetz is a professor emeritus at Northern Illinois University, winner of the Heldt Prize in the Best Book in Women’s Studies nomination.
