The image of the mother in k. erendzhenov’s poetry

Abstract

One of the main objectives of contemporary Kalmyk literary studies is to create a comprehensive concept of the history of Kalmyk literature. In this regard, there appears a need to study its beginnings and evaluate the role of the national poetry in the literary process of the 20th century. 
The article examines the early period (the 1930s) of K. Erendzhenov’s poetry-writing. The artistic mindset of Kalmyk poets and writers expressed the popular opinions and sentiments of the Soviet society. 
The theme of the Mother is deeply and fully represented in Konstantin Erendzhenov’s poetry. In world literature, the image of the Mother is one of the most esteemed ones and is continually connected with the folklore tradition.
