THE THEME OF HOMELAND AND NATURE IN THE LYRICS OF GIRIKHAN GAGIEV

Abstract

The article examines poetry of Girikhan Gagiev, assesses the poet’s contribution to the development of Ingush literature. A brief description of poems created by the lyricist with love for the Motherland and nature is given. The main content of the study is the analysis of poetry devoted to this topic. It explores how, through a variety of colors and sounds, the poet personifies nature. By the power of their artistic talent, exploring possibilities of a person’s character, his hidden spiritual potential, the writers show that both positive and negative are inherent in a person by nature, i.e. there is both good and evil in him, low and high, insignificant and great. Both of these beginnings can develop depending on what conditions will be most favorable for their manifestation. The desire to comprehend the present as a stage of a single historical process is a distinctive feature of the poet’s materialistic thinking, which turned to the past of the Motherland in order to find in it the key to turbulent events. This phenomenon is natural during the period of historical cataclysms. With the help of metaphors, personifications, comparisons and other means of language, Girikhan Gagiev managed to highlight peculiarities of life, customs, traditions and customs of the Ingush and to sing the beauty of his Homeland.
