Abstract

This article discusses the general characteristics and main periods of development of Russian literature of the Pavlodar Irtysh region as an essential part of Kazakhstani literary process. As a continuation of a series of articles on the regional literature of the region as an object of the author’s doctoral dissertation research, this study summarizes currently available information on this topic and presents the author’s concept of periodization of the Russian literature of the region according to the socio-political, cultural, ideological processes in regional, Kazakhstani and world space. The study allows to identify the distinction of the literary process of the Pavlodar Irtysh region in its retro- and perspective based on systematization of literary facts of more than a century of history, and as a result, to qualify the place of this literature in the Kazakhstani and world literary continuum. At the initial stage of its origin, regional literature was associated with writers, who later became remarkable figures of Soviet Russian literature, but protected a metaphysical, spiritual connection with Pavlodar and Kazakhstan as a whole. At the second stage of its development, the Pavlodar Russian-speaking literature was in compliance with the development of Soviet Russian literature. The third period of development is characterized by feelings of uncertainty, anxiety for the future of the country and people, for the retaining of the moral and spiritual foundations of a society. At the present stage, Internet resources are becoming a favorite form of communication between word-painters and readers, suggesting various forms of self-presentation of authors, the possibility of feedback and commenting; the women’s poetry is developing.
