THE GENRE OF THE POEM IN THE TATAR LITERATURE OF THE 1930S

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the study of trends in the development of the poem genre in Tatar literature of the 1930s. Based on the material of lyric-epic works of a number of poets of the studied period, characteristic features of the emerging invariant of the Tatar poem are revealed. As a result of the analysis of poetic texts, it is proved that the Tatar poem of the 1930s is a complex genre phenomenon, including both “canonical” samples that meet ideological requirements, and “peripheral” works characterized by conditionally metaphorical imagery (poems by H. Tufan and A. Faizi) and lyrical depth (poems by H. Taktash and S. Hakim). Another significant trend in the development of the poem during this period is the actualization of national traditions, in particular, poets update folklore traditions, within the framework of this article, the lyric-epic creativity of M. Jalil is explored in this perspective.
