L’article analyse la réception de l’œuvre houellebecquienne en Russie à travers les commentaires des lecteurs, les articles critiques et les ouvrages universitaires. On constate certains points de divergence entre les lecteurs et les critiques. Alors que de sérieuses analyses (quoique parfois contradictoires) des Particules ont été menées, les interprétations de La Carte sont généralement médiocres ce qui pourrait s’expliquer par le manque de recherches universitaires russes consacrées à l’œuvre houellebecquienne., The article analyzes the reception of Michel Houellebecq's novels in Russia through the reader comments, critical articles and academic researches. The opinions of readers and critics reveal certain points of disagreement. If Atomised has deserved a deep analysis, though sometimes contradictory, interpretations of The Map and the Territory by readers and by critics are often superficial which can be explained by the lack of academic researches on Houellebecq’s work in Russia.

L’article aborde le problème de non-dit dans ­l’univers scolaire à travers trois romans : Up the Down Staircase de Bel Kaufman, Entre les murs de François Bégaudeau et Lorsque les anges se reposent de Marina Aromshtam. Le caractère fragmentaire de la narration traduit les malaises de ­communication au sein du système qui engendre un univers rigide, empêchant la quête identitaire des jeunes., This article approaches the problem of the ‘non-said’ in the school context by looking at three novels : Up the Down Staircase by Bel Kaufman, Entre les murs by François Bégaudeauet, and Lorsque les anges se reposent by Marina Aromshtam. The fragmentary character of the narrative translates the difficulties of communication at the heart of a system which engenders a rigid universe that inhibits the identity quests of young people.

This study sets out to compare Russian and French business cultures on the basis of different taxonomic approaches for describing national culture to analyzing cross-cultural communication (Trompenaars, Hofstede, Hall). The results of this comparison point to specific character of French and Russian business cultures. Both France and Russia cannot be related to any cultural cluster of countries which share similar values for cross-cultural management. However use of these taxonomic approaches leads to the discovery of several common characteristics between these cultures which means the similarity of some communicative strategies in cultural management. This finding allows discussing practical implications for cross-cultural communication for Russian and French managers working together. Such cultural characteristics as individualism/ collectivism or linear-activity / multi-activity which vary for French and Russian business cultures in different approaches need a further research.
