The main purpose of this paper is the description of the illusion of space and manipulation of consciousness in Victor Olegovich Pelevin´s novel Omon Ra. Pelevin, as one of the most important writers in Russian postmodern literature, describes the turnover in social consciousness after the break of the Soviet Union and the ideology of communism. He dedicates his short novel, Omon Ra, to those who had been dying unconditionally for some greater purpose. The main character has already dreamed about the sky when he was still a boy, because he realized that peace on Earth is impossible. With the propaganda of soviet heroism throughout the media, cinematography, flyers and posters, soviet system constructs phantasies of far universe and shiny astronauts’ suits in the heads of boys and girls. Pelevin shows the deconstruction of this myth through the flight academy systems which use simulacrum to create hyperreality for their students. The setting of the endless universe as film set, with continuous reconstruction their consciousness with different kinds of manipulation, needed to be reached by the young heroes sacrificing their own lives for the realistic movie scene of leadership in a space race. Omon flies the Moon to make “a heroic venture” and then end his life. In the end, he finds out that the Moon doesn’t exist and he is still on Earth in dirty tunnels below Moscow. He is the victim of manipulation, and the universe is only an illusion in which he has so enthusiastically believed as a child.
