Abstract
The article deals with the Mongolian theme in works of the Kalmyk writer Mikhail Khoninov. The autobiographical aspect in the poet’s lyrics was determined by his army service in the Transbaikalia Military District on the Soviet-Mongolian border in 1939-1941, and memories of that period. His poems of the late 1930s, 1960s and 1970s convey the themes of friendship between the two countries and peoples, military and fraternal assistance of the Soviet Union to Mongolia in the history of the Revolution, wars, Socialist construction, and space exploration endeavors. The past, present and future unite the plots of the Mongolian theme in M. Khoninov’s lyrics. Mutual translations of Kalmyk and Mongolian poets demonstrate literary ties between the kindred cultures.
