THE IMAGE OF WOMEN OF OTHER CULTURES IN THE RUSSIAN LITERATURE OF XVI CENTURY
The paper reviews the perception of women of other cultures in the Russian literature of the XVI century. The author comes to the conclusion that the specifics of this perception can be attributed to the perceived serious deviations from the stereotypical model of female behavior adopted in Russia of the period. In cases of direct contact, such deviations were construed as negative characteristics, while in the literary descriptions of the way of life of other countries,these deviations were often received as neutral or with sympathetic interest.
Keywords: Russian centralized state, Russian literature, “image of Other”, women’s history
