From the author’s point of view on Doppler, he is an embodiment of the national character in the global world. No wonder, he likes snow, winter, skiing as traditional heroes of Norwegian literature do. But he doesn’t love modem Norwegian customs, especially “ability of pleasant living”, “thanks to what we are the big eaters and the most selfish nation all over the world”. “He doesn’t re spect the country where the small population lives at the expense of billions oil money and of natural resources”. He considers that “the Norwegians stand apart from the world and don’t know real life”. Doppler searches for “other people and reasonable life”. And many other Norwegians follow Doppler living in wood. He can’t escape from his own nature and an ethnic identity. Thus, he also will go with baby-elk (a symbol of Norway) till an old age.

Doppler repeats the mistakes of Ibsen’s Nora and Peer Gynt, he is some kind of pantheist, as Lieutenant Glahn.

He is a real Norwegian in the global world. V. BELOV, V. MASLOV The modern Russian fiction about the North and, in particular, about the Kola North is various and of high literary merit.

His book “Lad” (“The Circle of Life”) - is a collection of articles on the northern Russian tradition and culture, their esthetics and ethics, the life in the North. The cycle of life is the symbol of the harmony, the consent and the beauty. The life circle submits to a rhythm which is formed by centuries, and its destruction is danger ous to the northern people. Environmental conditions, work on the earth, every day life and holidays - everything has its influence on the Russian national character. When creating this book Belov uses memoirs of mother and relatives. For example: Rhythm. Life of my ancestors, northern Russian peasants was rhythmical. Any destruction of a rhythm - war, illness, a poor harvest - was taken as a catas trophe for all. Disasters in home life, like illness, death, a fire, adultery, theft, 118
