While Marinina’s plots have an affinity with classical mysteries, and her interpretation of the milieu and commentary on the social order in Russia link her novels to the hard-boiled detective fiction, Marinina’s strategy in depicting characters connects her novels to Soviet culture.
In the actual past, the values professed by Marinina were often criticized in the unofficial popular culture; in the 1990s, they are absorbed into popular entertainment with their embarrassing aspects erased from memory.
Marinina’s ideal reader is nostalgic not about the concrete order of things that existed in reality in the past but about the myths of the past, the ability to live in utopia, the capacity to be optimistic even if only self-deceived.

 Languor Management: But there is reason to exercise caution
But just what the words "intellectual" and "nonfiction" mean in Russian is up to debate.
The first epithet gets attached to almost anything, from crime novels by scholar-turned-writer Boris Akunin and Alexandra Marinina, who has also been gravitating toward highbrow meditation lately, to hard-boiled U.S. thrillers like Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code" that require a modicum of education from their readers.
As for what Westerners might consider to be "nonfiction" (the title of the fair is pronounced in English), it's a phenomenon still largely unknown to the Russian public, at least in its intellectual variety.
