LIFE AND DEATH AS A SUBJECT OF PUBLICISTIC INTERPRETATION IN SOVIET WAR POETRY OF KYRGYZSTAN AND RUSSIA
Z. SultanovaThe study examines the artistic interpretation of life and death in Soviet publicistic war poetry of Kyrgyzstan and Russia based on the works of Mukai Elebaev, Sooronbay Zhusuev, Alexander Tvardovsky, and Eduard Asadov. The methodological basis includes comparative-typological and interpretative analysis of poetic texts, taking into account their national and cultural specificity. It is established that the image of life is closely connected with the image of the mother as a symbol of a peaceful home, spiritual support, hope for return, and preservation of human integrity during war. The image of death is revealed through the motifs of fallen young men, children, and fathers, embodying the tragedy of war, collective mourning, and the moral cost of victory. The publicistic nature of war poetry appears in an intimate dialogue with the reader, where civic pathos is combined with personal pain, fear, love, memory, and faith. The poems are interpreted as a means of preserving historical memory and the inner world of the human being.
