The article discusses genre features of the “boring dystopia”, the novel Радио Мартын by Filipp Dzyadko. Among the most important features of the novel are the image of a pseudo-carnival, the situation of a “state of emergency”, intertextual quotation, the activity of a dystopian protagonist. The exchange of letters between the now deceased becomes a symbol of the rupture of the chronotope. The syntax of the novel is subordinated to the aim of the genre. The novel can thus be understood as a confession of an emigrant-writer to his readers.
