The ultimate goal of the present study is to examine the poetic subjectivity of Parnok’s late work (the late 1920s and early 1930s). In the study, late Parnok’s poetry is seen as “marginal” writing which represents the Subaltern identity in the Soviet context. The paper attempts to show how Parnok constructs the Russian poetic lesbian language. At the same time, she makes an important stylistic change in her poetry which is connected with irony as a core technique of nonconventional Soviet poetic identity travestying Soviet discourse.
