ARTISTIC SPACE OF THE POETRY OF KORYAK VLADIMIR KOYANTO

Abstract

The article is devoted to the poetry of the Koryak Vladimir Koyanto, the second and probably the last writer in the history of this national literature. The features of his artistic world are considered, the main problem-thematic sections are identified, key motives and images are established, the linguistic aspects of poetry are analyzed. The interpretation of the extensive text corpus showed that the poet was acutely worried about the collapse of Soviet reality, it was difficult for him to get used to the new post-Soviet era. The theme of unfavorable, destructive modernity, the motive of unfulfilled expectations in V. Koyanto’ poems are widespread. In a number of texts the presence of a mythological substrate is recorded, the influence of the traditional culture of the Koryaks on artistic narratives is observed. It is emphasized that the author was focused on the traditions of Russian classical literature and at the same time associated himself with the circumpolar ethnocultural landscape. An appeal to the works of V. Koyanto is of great importance for comparative literature studies, it gives an idea of the ways and problems of the development of “minority” literature as a complex cultural phenomenon.
