THE PROBLEM OF MORAL DEVELOPMENT OF A CHILD’S PERSONALITY DURING WARTIME IN THE SHORT FICTION OF MAGOMED-SAID PLIEV

Abstract

The paper presents an analysis of the specifics of the theme of the Great Patriotic War in the Ingush children’s prose of the 1960s and 1970s based on the work of an outstanding writer Magomed-Said Pliev. The research is conducted in the context of the post-deportation cultural revival of the Ingush people. At that time, literature became a means of overcoming collective trauma and restoring historical dignity. The main features of the writer’s artistic system are revealed. This is a synthesis of autobiography, folklore imagery, psychology and symbolism, which serves to translate personal experience into an epic generalization. It is concluded that Pliev’s prose, created within the framework of the Soviet ideological canon, solved an important ethnocultural problem. Through literature for children, she legitimized the place of the Ingush people in the general history of struggle and Victory. His prose acted by transforming trauma into a source of pride, and individual heroism into a part of collective memory and glory.
