Образно-мотивная структура сборника поэта-галли-полийца Н.В. Станюковича «Из пепла»

Abstract

We consider the structure of unrenowned poetry collection “From the ashes” (1929) by undeservedly forgotten Gallipoli poet N.V. Stanyukovich. The relevance of the study is due to the need to address little-known phenomenon of the Russian literature abroad – writers’ creative activity in the Gallipoli camp of the Russian Army of Baron P.N. Wrangel in 1920–1921. The purpose of the study is to examine the features of image-motive structure of the collection “From the ashes” by N.V. Stanyukovich. Based on the use of biographical, structural-typological, cultural-historical approaches, we analyze the image-motive dominants of the collection “From the ashes”, which include the motives of war, death, life, fate, homesickness, hearts, creativity, images of the steppe, graves , war horse, train station, etc. We pay attention on the fact how N.V. Stanyukovich uses sound, color, compositional, rhythmic techniques in his works, which testifies to the maturity of the writer’s creative manner. We suggest that the Gallipoli sitting became the most tragic page in N.V. Stanyukovich’s life, despite the fact that it contributed to the beginning of his creative career. After the collection “From the ashes”, poet avoids Gallipoli theme, although military problems remain relevant.
