This paper examines the portrayal of the main character in post-apocalyptic fiction. Such works portray complex and ambiguous heroes whose actions and reflections mirror the altered worldview after a catastrophe. The post-apocalyptic genre is characterized by placing characters in extreme conditions where familiar social norms have collapsed, the threat to life is constant, and moral dilemmas become the foundation for forming new behavioral models. The post-apocalyptic hero must develop a new system of values, as all previously accepted rules and guidelines are lost. Analyzing this character allows us to trace the transformation of the individual's personality in critical circumstances, as well as to understand the potential changes in the moral fabric of society as a whole. This paper analyzes the images of the main characters in two Russian post-apocalyptic novels, Yana Vagner's Vongozero and Dmitry Glukhovsky's Post, focusing on their moral transformation and psychological conflict in a post-apocalyptic world.
