Abstract
In the article, an attempt to answers the following questions is made: what can our contemporary learn from the fantasy fiction works about “popadanets” (“people getting to some strange places”); how it corresponds to the current crisis of education; what social request has been involuntarily realized by the domestic fantasy fiction, which has generated a big wave of works about “popadanets”? The conclusion is made that this social request is the need for a new relation between the person, his/her education and the type of civilizational development in modern Russia. It is being carried out by the “popadancheskaya” fantasy fiction, which describes a subject, who is inclined to change the world by relying on the advanced knowledge and world outlook.
