This paper deals with the use of figurative language to represent the spaces of the Soviet Union in Olivier Rolin’s essay In Russia ( En Russie , 1987), including urban spaces, natural ones and individual buildings. I am going to pay particular attention to the deployment of some stereotypes and cultural references guiding the author. Their truthfulness or deconstruction in front of the cultural otherness are also under analysis. The methods we will prefer are linguistic analysis and explanation of the historical and cultural context of the text.
