Abstract
The article presents the study of the motive structure of the “Caucasian text” in the works of the North Caucasian literature of the first half of XIX. The following task is defined: to determine the motives specific for the “Caucasian text” of the North Caucasian literature. During the period of national recovery associated with the Decembrist movement, literature was supplemented by a number of works about the Caucasus, written by talented and educated mountaineersCaucasians, such as Sultan Khan Girey, Sultan Kazy Girey, Adil Girey Keshev, Costa Khetagurov, etc. There was a whole literary tradition, which not only poetized the Caucasian world, but also tried to study it ethnographically. The relevance of the article is also connected with the fact that the Caucasian motifs are easily read both in the works of authors writing in Russian, for whom this region is a historical homeland, and Russian writers, gravitating in their own artistic preferences to a variety of trends and stylistic principles - from romantic to postmodern. For some of them, interest in the motives of the Caucasus is determinative for all the creative work. The scientific novelty of the article is that the author for the first time made an attempt to consider the motives typical for the works of Russian and North Caucasian literature about the Caucasus in the context of dialogue of the cultures.

Summary
The relations between the peoples who inhabit Russia, expressed in the cultural and historical paradigm are a long process. “The “Caucasian text” of Russian literature, as we see it, is a system of interrelated and interdependent elements, including the concept of literary and mythological archetype and forming its own literary and philosophical “code”, which defines it, its text, originality It represents a dense network of thematic, motivic, imaginative constants with deep internal logic, and constitutes a kind of unified basis of individual literary worlds” [2. We consider the interpenetration and synthesis of the motivic structures of the North Caucasian and Russian literature as a phenomenon that is present in the texts of various writers from different historical and cultural eras They are manifested in the form of transformed invariants and variants in combination with other motives.
