self-identification

The article shows the peculiarity of chronotopos in the novels by G. Yakhina Zuleikha Opens Her Eyes and by A. Ganieva Bride and Groom. The author studies the historic realia being represented and the modern ones being fixed in their unique ethnic context, national self-identification being transformed to personal, as well as the ways of expressing author’s national identity.

The article deals with the problem of the interpretation of an author’s identity in correlation with the literary actuality (symbolism, poetic ideology of the Apollon journal) and the universal poetic canon (Pushkin). We analyze the forms of poetic self-identification used by the young poet in formation (Marina Tsvetayeva), the mentor – disciple relationship between Voloshin and Tsvetayeva, and ways in which Tsvetayeva transforms the Pushkin myth in the process of creating her individual poetics.
