Abstract

In the former Soviet Union, the literature of the peoples living in the semi-colonial conditions of the allied socialist republics was always under the attention and control of the center, mainly for ideological reasons. However, as literature also developed in its natural course, the appeal of Russian-Soviet writers to the East ultimately had a progressive content and character. From this point of view, N.Tikhonov, A.Fadeyev, K.Simonov and other Russian-Soviet writers appealed to the life, history, freedom struggle of the peoples of the East, including the Middle East, and revived the theme and images of Islam, the Caucasus and Azerbaijan in their works. Showed loyalty to the traditions of his predecessors. The article examines N. Tikhonov's works written in different genres about the representatives of Azerbaijani literature.

N.S. Tikhonov’ s role in russian-azerbaijan literary relations

Abstract

In the former Soviet Union, the literature of the peoples living in the semi-colonial conditions of the allied socialist republics was always under the attention and control of the center, mainly for ideological reasons. However, as literature also developed in its natural course, the appeal of Russian-Soviet writers to the East ultimately had a progressive content and character. From this point of view, N.Tikhonov, A.Fadeyev, K.Simonov and other Russian-Soviet writers appealed to the life, history, freedom struggle of the peoples of the East, including the Middle East, and revived the theme and images of Islam, the Caucasus and Azerbaijan in their works. Showed loyalty to the traditions of his predecessors. The article examines N. Tikhonov's works written in different genres about the representatives of Azerbaijani literature. During the Soviet period, the literature of peoples living in semi-colonial societies in the Soviet Socialist Republics was always under the control of the government for the dominant ideological reasons. However, as literature develops in its natural course, the appeal of the Russian-Soviet writers to the East has eventually been of progressive content and character. From this point of view, N. Tikhonov, A. Fadeev, K. Simonov and other Russian-Soviet writers demonstrated their devotion to the traditions of their predecessors in their work, appealing to the life, history and freedom struggle of thepeoples of the East, including the Near and Middle East, reviving the themes and images of Islam, the Caucasus and Azerbaijan. In lines from poems, articles, speeches, memoirs in N. Tikhonov's book "A book of Azerbaijan" the poet’s deep love to Azerbaijan and its culture is felt. Materials without translation are taken from periodicals of our republic.
