Abstract

The article examines the Karachai-Balkarian literature of the "Thaw" era. The main trends in the poetry of the sixties poets are outlined by the example of M. Mokaev’s oeuvre. This work is the first attempt to systematically consider the heritage of M.Kh. Mokaev in its thematic and genre diversity; poetics is studied in the context of historical processes characteristic of the 20th century. It is obvious that without considering the poetry of key personalities it is impossible to achieve objective and significant results in solving the identified problem. In this regard, this study provides an opportunity to fully integrate M. Mokaev’s legacy into scientific circulation. The study reveals the most important aspects in the development of artistic consciousness of the Karachai-Balkarian authors of the "Thaw" era, identifies the main trends, and defines the specificity of the relationship between continuity and innovation. The work used an integrated approach, combining elements of comparative-typological, contrastive-typological, systemic-holistic and historical-literary analysis.
