Almost every educated person can write a book, expressing in it his way of thinking and his attitude to the world. Many, even interesting writers, write parts of the same book under different titles all their lives. And only a great writer can write many books that reflect the world of heroes, diverse in historical era, social status, intellectual and moral level.
Such is Kuzma Grigoryevich Abramov - the pride of Mordovian literature. Together with the heroes of his books, the reader meets Batu's invasion and throws off the Horde yoke, rushes to the aid of Razin and builds an automobile plant, clearly sees the goal in the greatest of warriors and rushes about in confusion in search of answers to the questions of our time. Together with the artist, he looks at the palaces of Rome and Paris, together with a peasant he inhales the smell of a warm floodplain near the Sur, together with a soldier he listens to the roar of exploding shells in the frozen fields near Moscow, and with a former prisoner of a concentration camp they drink spring water under the canopy of the Mordovian forest. The protagonist of Abramov's books is always a native of the Mordovian land, which absorbed its juices, grew up on its fruits, received from its nature, history and culture those special qualities that make up a unique national character.
People's writer of Mordovia, prose writer, playwright Kuzma Grigorievich Abramov was born on October 30, 1914 in the village of Starye Naimany, Ardativsky district, Simbirsk province (now Bolshebereznikovsky district, Mordovia). Erzyanin.
In 1940, his first collection of poems "Stiht" was published in the Erzya language.
The literary talent of K.G. Abramov manifested itself in the post-war period. Whatever K. Abramov did after the war, it was at this time that his craving for his favorite literature manifested itself with particular force. Neither in the army, nor in the war, and even more so in captivity, he had no opportunity to seriously engage in creativity. Numerous notebooks,
In which he entered various thoughts and plans for future stories and novels, they irretrievably disappeared in the turmoil of everyday adversity. Everything had to start over.
The first works that were published after the war were the story "Rashtynia Viy" (1950), the play "Olviy" (1951) and the story "Graduate" (1952). These were still weak works, in which the ten-year silence of talent was overcome.
A collection of short stories published by the Mordovian book publishing house in 1959 turned out to be more successful. Some of his stories were compiled in a collection published in 1961 by the Moscow publishing house "Soviet Russia".
Kuzma Grigoryevich considered his first creative success to be the novel Naiman. The first edition of the novel was ready in 1948, however, the Mordovian criticism of those years could not appreciate the depth and scope of this work. It did not fit within the criteria presented to him. Only in 1955 was an interlinear translation of the novel read by the then famous Moscow writer V.F. Avdeev. He gave a good review of the manuscript, in which he made a number of useful professional remarks. This review and the beginning of the "thaw" contributed to the publication of "Naiman" in 1957 in the Erzya language, three years later in Russian in Saransk and a year later in Moscow under the title "The forest has not stopped making noise." The success of the book exceeded the wildest forecasts, orders for it exceeded the circulation tenfold. In the newspaper Literature and Life, the literary critic N. Daloda wrote that the Mordovian writer Kuzma Abramov is a pronounced social writer, that one can talk about his characters for a long time and in detail, each of them is unique, the mass scenes in the novel are magnificent. And Mordovian criticism rated it as the first multifaceted novel in Mordovian literature. Such success of the first novel inspired and inspired the author to develop his storylines. The result was "People became close" and "Smoke on the ground", released respectively in 1961 and 1964. in the Erzya language in Saransk and in 1962-1966. in Russian in Moscow.
Translated all three books by G.M. Maksimov. According to K.G. Abramov - this was his best translator, most accurately conveying the thought and manner of the author.
The historical background of the second and third novels was the 1930s-50s, which included grandiose and tragic social processes: collectivization, repressions, and the Patriotic War. The truthful reflection of these processes in many ways came into conflict with the then established ideas about them. In Mordovia, the responses to the books were contradictory. “We, perhaps, for the first time meet with such a voluminous, multifaceted and mature work of literature of the national republics of the Volga region,” critic R. Nedosekin emphasized in the magazine “In the World of Books”. “Abramov’s language is poetic, figurative… Folk and ritual songs, Erzya proverbs and sayings, details of everyday life, tales and legends recreate the unique color that distinguishes any work of real art,” N. Dalada noted in Literaturnaya Gazeta.
The writer makes a bold attempt to overcome the division established in literature into “village and city” novels, as well as “domestic and industrial” novels. This attempt took shape in the novel “Your own burden is not a burden” in 1967 in the Erzya language. And in 1970-1971. in Russian.
In 1971-73. two books by K. Abramov were published in Erzya in Saransk and in Russian under the title "Son of Erzya" in the Moscow publishing house "Sovremennik" (1974-76).
The third book "Stepan Erzya" was written by the author immediately in Russian and was published in Saransk in 1977. A wonderful fate awaited the novels. “An undoubted achievement of our national historical prose is the novel - a trilogy by the Mordovian writer Kuzma Abramov about the famous sculptor,” wrote the famous literary critic A.N. Vlasenko, - it is impossible to overestimate the benefits that such books bring, educating the reader in a sense of pride in national art and at the same time a feeling of disgust for everything false, superficial, mediocre.
Critics called the novels about Erza historical, however, K.G. Abramov himself considered them historical and biographical, and he calls Purgaz his first historical novel, published by the Mordovian book publishing house in 1988 and republished in Russian by the Sovremennik publishing house in 1989. In it, the author turned to the image of Inyazor Purgaz, the most prominent figure of medieval Mordovia. Only three mentions of him in Russian chronicles made up the historical database. K. G. Abramov managed to solve this most difficult task by the methods of art, thanks to his excellent knowledge of history, language, way of life, customs, spiritual world of his people and that writer's intuition from God. This book contains the fight against the expansion of Russian princes and Polovtsian khans, the unification of the Mordovian tribes, the formation of the Mordovian state and its death under the onslaught of the Batu hordes.
In the next historical novel "For Freedom", published in Saransk in 1989, K.G. Abramov turned to the seventeenth century, the times of the peasant war - another turning point in the life of the Mordovian people. In domestic literature, this war is traditionally called Razin, however, the writer convincingly showed that the real peasant war in the Volga region began after Stepan Razin retreated to the Don. The main characters of the book were the rebel leaders Akai Belyaev and Alena Arzamasskaya. The novel - the legend "Purgaz" and the novel-chronicle "For the Will" according to the historian and public figure I.A. Efimov became important stages in the development of Mordovian historical literature.
In Russian in the 1980s, the Sovremennik publishing house published the collection of short stories There Behind the Woods, and the Soviet Writer publishing house published the novel The Girl from the Village.
The literary activity of KG Abramov is not limited to prose. Starting with poetry, he returned to it in the sixties and wrote a poem for children about one of the
episodes of the history of the city of Sarov. But KG Abramov did not consider himself a poet.
Also, the great Mordovian writer became one of the leading Mordovian playwrights. He wrote more than ten plays, four of which were successful. The play “Everyone Has Their Own Illness” went through about two hundred performances in the Erzya language and still enjoys the attention of the audience.
A good mark in the review by V.S. Bryzhinsky received a new play "Cavalon Pise".
Creativity KG Abramov became a classic of Mordovian literature. It brought Mordovian literature to the all-Russian level, bringing it a multi-million serious reader. Contemporaries highly appreciated K.G. Abramov's creativity. He has been awarded articles in many encyclopedias. Cavalier of many orders, laureate of awards, honorary citizen of the Republic of Mordovia, People's Writer of the Republic of Mordovia, participant in the Great Patriotic War Kuzma Grigoryevich Abramov passed away on August 4, 2008.

Blizzard
A blizzard is raging, sweeping
Roads in forests and fields...
Playing with fluffs of snow
Spinning on icy seas.
When it comes to the village
Frosty evening time,
Starts sad songs
Shining with its shroud...
And those songs flow like a wave
In the hut in the darkness of the night,
Where are the virgins with heartfelt anguish
They wonder about their happiness.
But woe to the one who across the field
At that time, it passes along the path, -
Blizzard, laughing plenty,
Cover it with a veil.
With a whistle and noise will leap,
She will shed a sad howl ...
And the snowdrift grows
Then over the lost soul.
The blizzard covers all traces,
Buzzing across the steppes and fields,
And throws snow dust
And winds along the white paths.

The Russian spirit does not die
In grassy villages
Where day by day the rooster crows,
Loud and cheerful.
And simple rural life
With the fragrant heat of the oven
Stores in unhurried conversations
The melodiousness of Russian speech.
And let sometimes troubles alarm
Peace of mind destroys -
The fire of the lamps and God's gaze
They also heal souls.

Soothe my sorrows
"Assuage my sorrows" -
Behind the line, where is the pond and the raft,
Duckweed, march, heat and sweat, -
Suddenly a majestic vision
With an extraordinary name
crowning the hill
Swimming like a white swan.
I wandered here by accident
I zagreb here around
From worries and troubles
From thoughts and despair
To the temple
confessional shelter
"Assuage my sorrows..." -
That's what the people came up with!
The stream runs down the slope
Low hill.
Trees like a tower!
I just fell
tired,
To the spring and
healed
And quenched by thirst,
Got up, -
the soul is full of goodness.
enlightened,
From the stream and the tower,
What once for centuries
An ancestor put winged,
filled with beauty,
And cross
remembered
Overshadow me hand.
Since then I've been meeting you
fate,
My love! -
Like a temple by the stream
"Assuage my sorrows."
I don't promise much.
Soothe my sorrows
I will satisfy yours too!
January powder
descends to earth
first powder
To the forest and the field, and to the father's house,
As if brushing aside
along with the past
My troubles are in my way.
Bright soul
from purity of desire,
From thoughts of good
and beauty
As if to me
in the high temple of God
Nature gives white flowers
For the ashes of loss
and the ashes of defeat
For a brief moment of luck
in the midst of trouble
For some truth
in the midst of doubt
For the honor of the future
maybe win...

Live Mordovia!
I saw different lands
But the heart is warm here:
When I look at the fields
What is covered with snow
When in spring time
Streams run from the hills
When over Moksha and Sura
The nightingales will cry.
Live, my Mordovia!
Keep heavenly light:
Your beautiful fields
Showered moonlight snow.
Live, my Mordovia!
Not knowing bitter troubles:
Me without you in foreign lands
There is no other happiness!
As the clouds float,
But your light does not fade:
I will never believe
That there is no place for me here.
Love is like spring water
Melt the heat in the heart:
I am happy to live
with you always
One destiny!

Sura
Your waves boil with spring force,
You flow, playing, along quiet meadows,
And the Erzya song is sad and free,
Like a bird, it floats over the edge of the coast.
And, carrying its water into the great river,
Like giving blood to a dear sister,
You are pouring into the Volga as a particle of Russia,
And the stars bathe in your silver.
We are the free children of great Russia.
We are one with you on the way to the end.
Your springs are beating, they are the source of my strength.
And our hearts always beat in unison.

All my Russia is sleep-grass and crosses.
All my Russia is a drunken boom, taverns.
I can't get away from the terrible longing,
Nowhere to go, emptiness ahead.
Leaning towards the spring
I embrace the silence
And the constellation of the Bucket
I will scoop up the tears of the living,
And as long as I live
And as long as I breathe
And while I am my Cross,
God given, I wear
And I will tell the mountain ash
And Kalina I will say:
"What kind of happiness is this -
I live in Russia!
Horses rush in the steppe, Pegasus is driven into the soap,
Poems choked with blood, the story died.
A boot passed over the strawberry eyes,
I beg the Almighty: "Give me more time ..."
Leaning towards the spring
I embrace the silence
All for your deeds
I will ask myself
And as long as I live
And as long as I breathe
And while my friend sleeps
I'll watch the fire
And I will tell the mountain ash
And I'll tell Kalina.
"Here is my happiness -
I live as a man!
You, my Russia - dawns, rivers, bridges.
You, my Russia - conscience, honor and debts.
I would go to the field, get lost in the meadows,
What I was looking for - to find, to bury eternal fear.
Leaning towards the spring
I will embrace silence.
And the Constellation of the Bucket
I will scoop up the tears of the living,
And as long as I live
And as long as I breathe
And while I am my Cross,
God given, I wear
And I will tell the mountain ash
And Kalina I will say:
"What kind of happiness is this -
I live in Russia!

Kinyakin is a laureate of the Lenin Komsomol Prize of Mordovia, the author of the text of the National Anthem of the Republic of Mordovia. Member of the Writers' Union of the USSR since 1971. He began to print in 1957: his first poem "Miron Gulyana" ("Dove of Peace") appeared in the newspaper "Mokshen Pravda". In 1967, the Mordovian book publishing house published the first book of his poems "Eryafs i kelgomas" ("Life and Love"), which reflected the main features of Kinyakin's poetry, the individual features of his artistic style, which later became the main ones for all his poetic work. In subsequent years, poetic collections were published in the Moksha-Mordovian language: “Yin Mazys” (“The Most Beautiful”, 1970), “Kizot-vaygyalbet” (“Years-versts”, 1973), “Yalgakshin sed” (“Friendship Bridge” , 1976).

The thematic range of poetic works by S. Kinyakin is extensive. The author focuses on the majestic image of the Motherland and native land, which is dearer to him than anything in the world. Poems dedicated to military childhood bribe the reader. In them, the boyish feeling of war was reflected very dramatically. The poem "Years-versts" is dedicated to the younger generation continuing the work of their parents on the labor front. In his work, an inexhaustible love for his native nature, its riches sounds penetratingly. The poet feels a deep connection with his land, with its history.
In many of his works, the poet sings of the high feelings of people: friendship, love, fidelity, camaraderie. He is pleased with every manifestation of the new in life. S.

Leading: So our poetic evening comes to an end. I hope you learned something new from it today. Your feelings for the Motherland, I am sure, have been confirmed in the verses of Mordovian poets. Remember, a person begins with love for his native land, for his native land. Guys, read poetry! After all, our souls speak the language of poetry. Poems ennoble us, make our thoughts purer.
The theme of nature is inextricably linked in the verses of Mordovian poets with the theme of the Motherland. Out of love for the nature of the native land, a tender, penetrating feeling of love for the Fatherland is born and grows.
Mordovian literature has its roots in the pre-revolutionary past. Its first sprouts appeared in the second half of the 18th century.
The first books about the language and way of life of the Mordovians, translations of religious texts, the first primer by Avksenty Yurtov, materials from the expeditions of the Mordovian educator Makar Evsevyov laid a solid foundation for Mordovian literature. The so-called Mordovian folk and peasant literature, collected in the works of scientists H. Paasonen and A.A. Shakhmatov nourished and still nourish the work of many authors with their treasures.
At the origins of the traditions of Mordovian professional literature are, first of all, the works of semi-professional writers - memoirs, biographies of R.F. Uchaeva, V.S. Sayushkina, I.A. Tsybin, various kinds of “history” by T.E. Zavrazhnova and S.A. Larionov, poems of the skaz type by I.T. Zorin, which have come down to the present thanks to the scientific efforts of the Russian academician A.A. Shakhmatov and Finnish folklorist Heikki Paasonen.
The fates of the Mordovian Russian-speaking writers of the late 19th - early 20th century, or rather, the fate of the books in which their thoughts and feelings are embedded, developed in different ways. The legacy of some, such as, for example, Zakhar Dorofeev, Dmitry Morsky and Alexei Dorogoychenko, has long been firmly included in the active fund of Mordovian national literature. The works of others, as happened with the legacy of Stepan Anikin, received recognition in the literature of their native people only relatively recently. The books of the third, which at one time attracted the attention and sympathy of their contemporaries and made up the leading part of Russian democratic literature, are beginning to overcome the oblivion only now, at the end of the 20th century.
Non-literary factors also had a negative impact on the course of the literary consolidation of the Mordovian people - forced migration processes, political repressions of the 1930s and 1950s. The best Mordovian writers were subjected to repressions. In the dungeons of the Stalinist camps, F.M. Chesnokov, A.I. Zavalishin, S.I. Saldin, poet V.P. Ryabov and his brother, professor-philologist A.P. Ryabov, spent almost 20 years in exile and prisons Ya.Ya. Kuldurkaev, P.I. Levchaev, V.I. Viard.
The thirties were the peak of our Mordovian literature. It was during these years that Fyodor Chesnokov, Yakov Kuldurkaev showed their bright talent, Andrey Kutorkin wrote his first novel “Raujo palman”. The word, Erzya and Moksha, played in the works of Timofey Raptanov, Alexei Rogozhin, Mikhail Bezborodov, who actively entered the literature.
As the best achievements of the national classics of that period, the fairy tale poem “Ermez” created by Ya.Ya. Kuldurkaeva, a poetic novel about the peasant movement of the Mordovians of the 18th century. "Lamzur" A.D. Kutorkina, a drama about the participation of the Mordovians and other peoples of the Volga region in the anti-serfdom uprising led by Stepan Razin "Litov" P.S. Kirillov, an unfinished poetic trilogy about the plight of a Mordovian woman drawn into the maelstrom of three revolutions, “Three Songs, or Three Centuries” by M.I. Bezborodov (two parts were completed - the poems "Fairy Tale" and "For Freedom"). In line with the national revival trend, and still underestimated, unfortunately, documentary and artistic essays by M.I. Zevakin "Teryushev uprising" and "Kuzma Alekseev".
In 1934, shortly after the creation of the Union of Writers of the USSR, the Union of Writers of Mordovia was created. The organization of the literary process on the part of the Union from the very beginning was conceived not as a command, but as the right to teach each other, to mutually share experience. The breaking of the old, the creation of the new were on the agenda in those years, and the organization of the Creative Union of Writers was a vivid illustration of the times. The Union supported beginners, raised the authority of the writer in society, drawing the attention of the authorities to the conditions of creative work and life of writers. Writers were called upon to take an active part in the spiritual formation of our society by creating works of art that reflect socialist reality and their life position.
There is an opinion that the Mordovian Soviet literature throughout its development was the literature of socialist realism. In reality, there was critical realism in it, and in its own way it was quite clearly manifested, for example, in stories about the plight of the Mordovian rural intelligentsia during the years of the revolution and the Civil War, in particular in the prose of F.M. Chesnokov (story "The Old Teacher"). About the dramatic fate of the peasantry, forced to leave their native lands, A.I. Mokshoni (Kochetkov), the tragedy of the fratricidal Civil War is realistically reflected in the drama of F.M. Chesnokov "Two Ways", in the plays of K.S. Petrova "A Midsummer Night" and "Dark Force", in the story "The First Lesson" by P.S. Kirillov, the events of the times of collectivization received an original solution in the first version of the novel by V.M. Kolomasov "Lavginov" (1940).
The pre-war edition of the novel "Lavginov" is the only work of Mordovian Soviet literature in which realism as such turned out to be incompatible with what was commonly called "socialist realism". The main character of the novel, a clever wit, a man who dreams of living “in truth”, a peasant Yakhim Lavginov, the reader finds on the pages of the work as an already fully formed adult. V. Kolomasov veiled the people's attitude to the truth of the new socialist joint work." A veiled meaning is also hidden in the name of the protagonist - Lavginov, that is, a person who is talking nonsense and nonsense. Under the conditions of collectivization, the writer's hero does not find his place in the general system, leaves his native village, leaves in search of a better life for the grain city of Tashkent. Having failed to fulfill his dreams there, Lavginov returns home, gradually turning into a drunkard and couch potato, and in the end almost completely degenerates. Such an image of a “new, Soviet person” was received with hostility by critics, and as a result, the novel ended up in a series of banned and subject to seizure. Under pressure from harsh criticism, the author revised the novel, and in the 1958 edition, Yakhim Lavginov, with the active help of the secretary of the party organization, whose image was not in the first edition of the novel, corrected himself, having re-educated himself so much that at the end of the second edition of the novel, he, with his head held high, goes to fight on front of the beginning of the Great Patriotic War.
The Great Patriotic War subjected all aspects of human existence to severe tests. In no other war was there such unanimity and mass patriotism, such courage and perseverance with the enemy, as in the Great Patriotic War.
From the first days of the Great Patriotic War, Mordovian writers, like their fellow writers of other nationalities, warmly responded to the events caused by the perfidious invasion of the fascists into their beloved Fatherland. Mordovian writers A. Lukyanov, S. Vechkanov, P. Kirillov, A. Moreau, P. Gaini, V. Radin, I. Chigodaikin, E. Pyataev, Ya. Pinyasov, A. Shcheglov, I. Devin, I. Chumakov, K. Abramov, F. Andrianov, M. Petrov, V. Radin, P. Lyubaev and others. Many of the writers gave their lives for the Motherland: S. Rodkin, A. Rogozhin, F. Durnov, P. Bataev, V. Vodyasov, N. Filippov, A. Zinkov, P. Konomanin.
In those years, the heroic ballad “Haykstak, bandura!” became a textbook. (“Ring, bandura!”) by A. Shcheglov, where the unprecedented feat of 28 Panfilov guardsmen who stood up to defend the capital of our Motherland, Moscow, is sung emotionally, with deep penetration.
A special tonality is inherent in the works of the front-line poet P. Kirillov. All his poems are distinguished by their brightness, emotional richness, richness and musicality of the language. The author intelligibly, convincingly showed the spiritual world of our compatriots, the popular faith in victory.
The poems of the war years by I. Krivosheev, included in the collections “Voice of the People” and “My Way”, M. Beban “I Would Be a Bird”, “To the Hero of Stalingrad”, A. Martynov “My Comrade”, “In the Garden ”,“ Erzya Well Done ”, A. Morro“ Rus ”,“ Bucharest ”, S. Vechkanova“ Hero Man ”,“ Father ”,“ Death of the Driver ”, I. Devin“ Mother of a Soldier ”,“ Garden ”, "Letter to a Ukrainian" and other authors.
Publicistic articles by N. Filippov, D. Uchaev, T. Yakushkin, K. Samarkin and others sounded with invocative pathos in the republican periodical press. The leitmotif of their works was the theme of defending the Motherland. Publicists sought to help quickly mobilize all the forces and energy to defeat the enemy, to defend the beloved Fatherland, revealed the misanthropic ideology of fascism, instilled in people faith in victory. They wrote passionately, emotionally, figuratively.
In the first post-war decade, the Mordovian writers' organization was replenished with a new detachment of young writers: I. Kishnyakov, A. Malkin, S. Larionov, M. Saigin, T. Yakushkin and many others. Mordovian literary criticism and literary criticism became noticeably stronger. The first bibliographic reference book about national writers was compiled, the Essay on the History of Mordovian Soviet Literature was published, significant works on the problems of Mordovian literature were published by V.V. Gorbunov, N.I. Cherapkin, B.E. Kiryushkin, I.D. Voronin. Mordovian literary critics prepared textbooks, anthologies and programs on national literature for secondary schools and pedagogical colleges of the republic.
A number of works appeared that became the property of the all-Union reader. The collections “Poets of Mordovia”, “Poems” by P. Kirillov and many others are published in Russian in Moscow. An Anthology of Soviet Poetry was published in Budapest, which included poems by A. Moreau, F. Bezzubova, N. Erkay.
Mordovian poetry has grown qualitatively and quantitatively. The poets focus on topical issues of modern life, the image of a warrior-liberator, the organic fusion of military events with the theme of peaceful labor. The image of a victorious warrior in the poem "Farewell to the regimental banner" by I. Devin expresses noble impatience to change the weapon of a warrior to an instrument of peaceful labor.
The poems of front-line poets I. Shumilkin, I. Chigodaikin, A. Malkin, P. Lyubaev are imbued with the same mood.
A wide artistic display in many poems of Mordovian poets is the theme of the return of a soldier to peaceful life, his participation in peaceful creative work. This topic was deeply developed in the poems of I. Krivosheev "Combine Operator", M. Beban "Field Farmer", S. Vechkanov "Banner of the Brigade", "Teacher", F. Atyanin "Plowman", N. Erkay "Collective Farm Groom", A. Malkin "Teacher", S. Platonov "Apple Tree", E. Pyataeva "High Bread" and others.
In 1954, the novel by I. Antonov “In a United Family” was published, the plot of which was based on the events of the Great Patriotic War, the feat of the peoples of our country at the front and in the rear. His own essays, published in the magazines Friendship of Peoples, Our Contemporary, and Literaturnaya Gazeta, became popular. In 1953, a book of essays by I. Antonov “Spill on the Alatyr River” was published in the Ogonyok mass library series, with a circulation of 500,000 copies.
A. Lukyanov's novel "Valdo ki" ("Bright Path") is published. The main ideological and artistic task of the author was the desire to reflect an important stage in the life of the post-war Mordovian village, to reveal the inner world of people who drank the bitter cup to the full both at the front and in the rear.
A significant event in the cultural life of Mordovia was the release in 1953 of T. Kirdyashkin's novel "Wide Moksha", which recreates events reflecting the struggle of the Mordovian people for social and national liberation in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
In ideological and artistic terms, the psychological drama of P.S. Kirillov "Light over the far corner", depicting the events associated with the construction of the power plant. The dramatic conflict of the play reflects the acute problem and difficult situations in the relations between the people of the post-war collective farm village, when it was necessary to restore the economy anew, and at the same time change the psychology of people who were affected by the difficulties of wartime.
In a number of cities in the country, dramas by G.Ya. Merkushkin "In the name of the people", "At dawn". These plays were published in 1957 as a separate book.
Speaking in general about the path of development of Mordovian literature in the first post-war decade, it should be noted the deepening in it of the reflection of the life and struggle of the people, the expansion and enrichment of artistic forms, styles and genres. Despite some shortcomings, it basically truthfully reflected the most important processes of our reality, aiming readers at the speedy restoration of the national economy destroyed by the war.
Modern Mordovian literature successively continues the literature of previous years and at the same time differs from it in many essential features: the formulation of large-scale problems, genre diversity, the appearance of numerous novels, close-up poetic works, the growth of criticism and literary criticism. The exploratory, analytical nature of literature has become stronger. One can feel the desire of writers to master the methods of psychological analysis, philosophical understanding of the phenomena of reality, solving moral and aesthetic problems, deepening lyricism, revealing the inner world of heroes. The geography of the depicted events is expanding. These qualitative changes, noted at the XIV Congress of Writers of Mordovia (1999), indicate that literature is confidently moving forward in its development.
The historical novels of K. Abramov “Purgaz”, “Olyachint kise (“For the Will”), A. Doronin “Bayagan Suleyt” (“Shadows of the Bells”), “Kuzma Alekseev”, awarded the main literary prize of the Finnish Society M .A. Castréna.
A significant contribution to the development of Mordovian romance was also made by the famous prose writers of the republic S. Larionov (“Crystal Payt” - “Crystal Bells”), T. Yakushkin (“Bald Mountain”), A. Martynov (“Rozen Kshi” - “Rye Bread ”), A. Shcheglov (“Kavkst chachoz” - “Twice-born”), I. Devin (“Nardishe” - “Grass-ant”), A. Moro (“Stepan Erzya”), M. Saigin (“ Davol" - "Hurricane") and others.
To a large extent, the state of modern Mordovian prose today is determined by the story. The Mordovian prose writer G. Pinyasov made a significant contribution to the further development of the genre, a distinctive feature of whose works is the organic combination of lyricism with publicism, solid analytical principles (“Psi kiza” - “Hot Summer”, “Vetetses” - “Fifth”, “Mekoltses Karguzhest" - "The last of the Kargushes").
In modern Mordovian prose, a lyric-philosophical story begins to occupy a large place. A. Tyapaev, A. Shcheglov, N. Erkay, V. Mishanina, S. Larionov and others addressed this genre variety of the story in their work.
Lyricism is also characteristic of many stories and such writers as I. Devin, N. Erkay, M. Beban, A. Kutorkin, A. Malkin, V. Radin, G. Pinyasov, A. Sobolevsky, V. Mishanina and others.
Many writers dedicate their work to children - Y. Pinyasov, E. Tereshkina, I. Devin, P. Levchaev, F. Andrianov, M. Petrov, A. Tyapaev, N. Mirskaya, N. Golenkov, V. Ivenin, A. Yezhov , T. Bargova and others. Their stories and poems bring up high moral qualities in the younger generation, teach kindness, diligence.
The people's poet of Mordovia I. Devin, as a mature master, developed in the post-war years. This is an artist of great inner burning. His lyrics - “Koda partsen pandoms” (“How to thank you”), “My land” - open up new facets in our complex, multifaceted life, the movements of the human soul, speak about what excites people now, inspires them.
The talented poet A. Malkin remained true to the motto of discovering the unknown in poetry until the end of his days. Numerous finds of musical and visual images A. Malkin subordinated to the disclosure of the themes and motives of modernity, the transmission of great thoughts and feelings.
The multicolor of poetic colors illuminates the poetry of S. Kinyakin. He has 11 collections of poetry published over 30 fruitful creative years (from 1967 to 1997).
The collections of A. Doronin "Chachoma enks" ("Native Side"), "Od Poran Waldo" ("Light of Youth"), "Telev Kis yuty sedeygam" ("The road to the village - through my heart") are greeted with interest by the reader. Natural feeling, sincerity, freshness of poetic images are a distinctive feature of the poetry of the Erzya poet.
Many poets devoted verses to the artistic display of the topical problems of our time: E. Timoshkin, P. Bardin, I. Kudashkin, V. Yushkin, V. Egorov, A. Gromykhin, K. Tangalychev, P. Lyubaev, A. Norkin, V. Volkov, P. Chernyaev, V. Gadaev, D. Nadkin, I. Shumilkin, A. Arapov, N. Ishutkin, V. Nesterov, V. Demin, R. Kemaykina, V. Lobanov.
The poetry of Alexander Arapov, Anna and Konstantin Smorodin, Mariz Kemal, Nikolai Ishutkin, Maria Malkina, Polina Aleshina, Natalia Ruzankina, Vasily Fedoseev has become a striking phenomenon in recent decades.
Their work is united by penetration into the spiritual world of man, and at the same time, each poet is unique and bright with his special colors. In the poems of A. Arapov, an alarming note about the future of the country, about the fate of the people living in it, sounds especially expressive.
Vasily Fedoseev, captured by love, does not leave the pain of Chernobyl. The poems of Konstantin Smorodin are distinguished by their inner musicality; composers of Mordovia often turn to his work.
Mordovian dramaturgy rises to a new stage of its development in the 70-80s, the popularity of which is primarily associated with the names of G. Merkushkin "Dear life", "At dawn", I. Antonov "Good luck", K. Abramov "Housewarming ”, “Golden Dawns”, V. Kolomasova “Wedding in Karakuzhy”. Several multi-act plays have been published: V. Purgine (V. Gorbunova) “Valske kirvais” (“Dawn is busy”), S. Fetisov “Autumn Stars”, P. Chernyaeva and N. Uchvatov “Kafta svadbaat” (“Two weddings” ), A. Tereshkina “In that hot summer”, N. Tremaskina “Virsa af seteme” (“It is not quiet in the forest”), “Velesta saf stirht” (“Girls who came from the village”) and others. They tell about the historical past of the people, the Civil War, peaceful construction during the five-year plans, the struggle of our people against the Nazi invaders during the Great Patriotic War.
Various problems of morality have found a deep development in the works of K. Abramov “You can’t get away from yourself”, “Everyone has their own illness”, “Guest from afar”, G. Merkushkin “Dear Life”, “Blue Light”, A. Shcheglov “Caution: a bad person”, A. Pudin “Shava kudsa lomatt” (“People in an empty house”) and others. The plays by V. Mishanina "Kda orta langsa suvi pine" ("If a dog howls at the gate"), "Tyat shava, tyat sala" ("Do not kill, do not steal") are performed with great success on the stage of the national theater.
A huge contribution to the formation of literary criticism as a science in Mordovia was made by V. Gorbunov, N. Cherapkin, A. Maskaev, L. Kavtaskin, V. Peshonova, B. Kiryushkin, I. Inzhevatov and others.
In recent years, a significant number of literary gifted young people have grown in our republic. This is evidenced by their success: books published in all possible ways (at their own expense, with the help of sponsors), as well as awards received for individual works. The names of Natalia Ruzankina, Danila Guryanov, Alexander Bazhanov (Sandy Saba), Sergey Fomin, Alexander Batalov, Oleg Korshunov, Zhanna Tundavina and others have long been known to lovers and connoisseurs of literature in our republic. And some, like, for example, D. Guryanov, laureate of the All-Russian competition of playwrights “Debt. Honor. Dignity”, published in Moscow.
Most of the new names are pupils of the Union of Young Writers of Saransk, which has been fruitfully and actively functioning in the republic since 1996. Of interest is the work of young Erzya and Moksha authors: Dmitry Taganov, Yuri Paltin, Alexander Zakharov, Lyudmila Ryabova, Marina Slugina, Olga Susoreva, Tatyana Mokshanova, Maria Eremina, Fyodor Matyushkin, Vladimir Popov, Petr Kirdyashkin, Oksana Oshkina, Marina Okina, Tatyana Milkina and others. It is pleasant to realize that the creative heirs of the Union of Writers of Mordovia are growing up and its history will continue.
