The comic saga, which is now valued as a most original example of rare post-Soviet comic book art, presents the adventures Russian folk hero (bogatyr) Ilya Muromets in a most inspiring and daring aesthetic manner. The composition, colour scheme, fonts, and text presentation of the work demonstrate clear parallels with the tradition of Christian Orthodox iconography, which somewhat complicates their comprehension for the average reader/viewer. This article offers a double reading of the work, reliant on the one hand on narrative analysis, and on the other (and at the same time) on an iconographic reading: it may be considered as an annotated introduction to a possible iconography of the comic book textV članku razpravljamo o estetskem potencialu enega prvih postsovjetskih stripov Bylinnaja Rus' (Rusija Epov, 1992), delu Viktorja Agafonova. Stripovska saga, ki dandanes velja za izjemno izviren primerek postsovjetske stripovske umetnosti, prestavlja prigode ruskega ljudskega junaka (bogatyr) Ilje Muromca, in sicer na estetsko drzen in navdihujoč način. Kompozicija, barvna shema, stilizirana pisava in umestitev teksta v strip nakazujejo na vzporednice med stripom in tradicijo krščanske pravoslavne ikonografije, kar pa nekoliko otežuje razumevanje stripa za povprečnega bralca/gledalca. V članku si prizadevamo ponuditi dvojno branje dela, v katerem se po eni strani zanašamo na analizo naracije, po drugi pa se vračamo k ikonografskim koreninam dela: lahko bi rekli, da preizkušamo iztočnice za morebitno ikonografsko branje stripaTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Fakulteta za družbene vede
