Against the Night — Polina Kulakova

Against the Night by Polina Kulakova is a work in which night serves simultaneously as the literal setting and as a symbol of the characters' inner experiences. The author creates prose on the border between realism and poetics, where every image carries layered meaning.

Kulakova addresses the theme of resisting darkness — both personal and social — exploring a person's ability to preserve inner light even in the darkest times. The text is distinguished by its expressive language and emotional intensity.
