Abstract
The article discusses some early poems by Kalmyk poet Mikhail Khoninov that have been no subject of any special analyses yet. His lyrics of 1939–1941 mirrored the style and language of the era in genre, topical, and socio-cultural perspectives. The themes of new life, forthcoming war, art, and love expressed the young poet’s attitude toward modernity, the vocabulary being typical enough for that time. The twelve poems by M. Khoninov combined the national versification tradition and the author’s new view of the reality.
