Кочергина на фоне ключевых его произведений — от ранних («Помощник китайца», 2007) до более поздних («Присвоение пространства», 2022; «Запасный выход», 2024). Творчество Кочергина рассматривается в контексте современной прозы и эссеистики, в частности в сопоставлении с книгой З. Прилепина «Собаки и другие люди» (2023).</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article discusses the contemporary prose writer and essayist Ilya Kochergin against the background of his main works — from the earlier (Assistant to a Chinese [Pomoshchnik kitaytsa], 2007) to the more recent (Appropriation of Space [Prisvoenie prostranstva], 2022; Emergency Exit [Zapasniy vykhod], 2024]) oeuvre. According to Kochergin, emotional interaction with space has as much impact on an individual as their relationship with their closest circle of people. The critic examines Kochergin’s identity as a writer in various capacities, already mythologized in the contemporary literary process: an author of semi-documentary short stories about Altay, where Kochergin was employed as a forester for several years; an essayist; and a mentor to young writers and poets. The article suggests that Kochergin’s objective in writing is to reorient people from the city to the world and push them to enrich the system of human-to-human relations with relationships to non-urban space and its inhabitants. Kochergin’s works are studied in the context of contemporary prose and essays, including Z. Prilepin’s Dogs and Other People [Sobaki i drugie lyudi] (2023).</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>И.
