Özet:

 The term post-apocalyptic, coined by the American critic Alan Frank in 1978 in the journal SciFiNow, firstly derives from the desire of literary writers to grasp not only the causes but also the consequences of possible global catastrophe. This term, which especially occupies a wide place in the world literature of the 21th century, paves the way for the birth of a new prose genre under the name of post-apocalyptic literature. This literature, which acts as a branch of the fantasy genre, generally is shaped around issues such as the cold war, space exploration and the threat of World War III. Indeed, in this study, in the work of Nikolai Lipnitsky, one of the Russian writers who started to come to the forefront of the 21th century, On The Way Home, the consequences of World War III will be analyzed on a post-apocalyptic basis. In this study, unlike usual, the reflection of a war in literature is not brought to the fore, it will be tried to show from a different point of view a very lively fictionalization and transmission of a war that has not yet taken place. Thus, it will be emphasized that this fiction of Lipnitsky, which he conveys in a simple way, is actually a warning to what might happen in the event of a war, which is highly probable by the researchers.

 1978 yılında SciFiNow dergisinde Amerikalı eleştirmen Alan Frank tarafından ortaya atılan post apokaliptik terimi, ilk olarak edebiyat yazarlarının olası küresel felaketin yalnızca nedenlerini değil, aynı zamanda sonuçlarını da kavrama konusundaki arzuları sonucu çıkar. Özellikle XXI. yüzyıl dünya edebiyatında geniş yer kaplayan bu terim, post apokaliptik edebiyat adı altında yeni bir nesir anlayışının doğuşuna zemin hazırlar. Fantastik yazın türünün bir kolu olarak hareket eden bu edebiyat, genel anlamda soğuk savaş, uzay araştırmaları, III. Dünya Savaşı tehdidi gibi konular çerçevesinde şekillenir. Nitekim bu çalışmada, XXI. yüzyılın öne çıkmaya başlayan Rus yazarlarından Nikolay Lipnitskiyin Eve Giden Yol eserinde, geleceğe yönelik çalışmalar içerisinde bir hayli geniş yer kaplayan III. Dünya Savaşının sonuçları post apokaliptik temelde çözümlenecektir. Her zamankinden farklı olarak yaşanan bir savaşın edebiyata yansımasının ele alınmadığı bu çalışmada, henüz gerçekleşmemiş bir savaşın, son derece canlı bir şekilde kurgulanışı ve aktarılışı betimleme yönteminden faydalanılarak gösterilmeye çalışılacaktır. Böylelikle Lipnitskiyin yalın bir şekilde işlediği bu senaryosuyla aslında araştırmacılar tarafından oldukça ihtimal dâhilinde görülen III. Dünya Savaşının gerçekleşmesi halinde olabileceklere yönelik vermek istediği önemli uyarısı ön plana çıkarılacaktır.
