THE BASHKIR THEME IN CREATIVE WORK OF THE SILVER AGE POETS
This article analyzes the “Bashkir pages” of creative work of the Silver Age poets Sasha Chorny, A. M. Fedorov, P. A. Radimov. In the poetic cycle, inspired by the author’s stay in Bashkiria, they clearly represent the natural resources of the region, among which vast feather-grass steppes are highlighted. If “Koumiss Verses” are written in a lyrical and satirical style, then the cycles “The Bashkir Steppe” and “The Bashkir Watercolor” are peculiar for their landscapes. The Bashkir reality is represented by the Russian poets in visible national imagery and ethno-cultural realities. In the arsenal of poetic means used by the authors there are similes, impersonations, parallelisms, and antithesis.
