FOLKLORE TRADITIONS IN S.S. VASILYEV PUBLICISTIC POETRY

Abstract

The article discusses the artistic and genre features of the publicistic poetry of the Yakut poet Sergei Vasiliev-Borogonsky (1907-1975), written by him during the Great Patriotic War. The poet’s appeal to genre forms of folklore and types of ritual poetry of the Sakha people is an expression of the influence of oral folk art on the creation of publicistic works of wartime. The relevance and novelty of this study are determined by the fact that the issues of poetics of the creative heritage and the peculiarities of the author’s style of S. S. Vasiliev remain insufficiently studied. An attempt is made to systematize the poetic works of S. S. Vasiliev of this period, based on ritual poetry, such as: oath, benevolence, incantation. The main visual and expressive means and stylistic techniques used by the poet in the creation of publicistic works on the theme of war are revealed.
