Essay from the year 2021 in the subject Literature - General, grade: 1,00, , course: History of Literature, language: English, abstract: Ludmila Ulitskaya is a renowned Russian writer and "The Kukotsky Enigma" is among some of her most famous novels. It revolves around the story of a family and how they function as Russia changes throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Doktor Pavel Alekseevich Kukotsky is at the center of the story as he tries to keep up with the effects, political changes have on his profession, which is specifically focussed on women's health. Consequentially, abortion, motherhood and femininity become central parts of the novel.

This essay asks the question of whether the novel takes a clear stance towards or against the legalization of abortion, thereby discussing Ulitskaya's views, the theory of the artist's intention behind art, and basic concepts of women's reproductive health such as the Pro-Choice movement.
