Nekrasov's archetypes, myths and symbols in Caucasian poetry of the 19th-20th centuries

This paper analyzes the influence of Nekrasov's symbolism, archetypes, and mythologemes on Caucasian literature. Particular attention is paid to the impact of Nekrasov's archetype of the mother, the symbolism of darkness, the raven, and the road on the development of Caucasian literature. Nekrasov's special forms and models of artistic methodology are considered in the light of their influence on the works of S. Gabiev, R. Gamzatov, O. Tumanyan, I. Ioannisian. It is noted that Nekrasov's symbolism is closely associated with color and landscape symbolism, with thanatological motifs, the image-symbol of the road, which found resonance in the lyrics of many Caucasian poets. The influence of Nekrasov's lyrics on Caucasian literature can be detected both in its ethical aspect and at the level of many aesthetic ideas.
