Ekaterina Ivanova's article examines two novels that break the remaining taboo against positive depictions of Christianity in Russian science fiction and fantasy, The Obscurant (Mrakobes, 1994) by Elena Khaetsaia, and Ol'ga Chigirinskaia's Heart of the Sword (Serdtse mecha, 2006). After outlining the plots and main characters, she notes the grinding negative scenes the novels include and the potential effect on readers. At the same time, Ivanova sees these novels as evidence that authors are choosing to apply the language and methods of fantastika to the most difficult moral and religious questions.

叶卡捷琳娜·伊万诺娃（Ekaterina Ivanova）的文章研究了两部小说，这些小说打破了对俄罗斯科幻小说和幻想中基督教的正面描写的禁忌，分别是Elena Khaetsaia撰写的The Obscurant（Mrakobes，1994）和Ol'ga Chigirinskaia的《剑心》（Serdtse mecha，2006）。在概述了情节和主要人物之后，她指出了小说中令人毛骨悚然的负面场面以及对读者的潜在影响。同时，伊万诺娃（Ivanova）将这些小说视为证据，表明作者选择将幻想曲的语言和方法应用于最困难的道德和宗教问题。
