ENThis article explores the novels written by two notable critics of totalitarianism: Vilniaus Pokeris (1989) by Ričardas Gavelis, and "Ich" (1993) by Wolfgang Hilbig. The comparison of these two works opens up an interlingual and intercultural dialogue, allows us to see in them international, intellectual and historical intertwining. Both novels depict in a satirical way the actualities of late Soviet-era society while raising complicated existential questions. [From the publication]
