Influence of the Russian literature traditions on art outlook of the Chechen writers of the 1920-1960s
This paper examines influence of creativity of A.S.Pushkin, M.Yu.Lermontov and L.N.Tolstoy on art outlook of the Chechen writers of the 1920-1960s. In the pre-revolutionary period, when writing was absent, the Russian language played the great role in development of Russian-language art thought of the Chechens. The Russian language acquainted national intellectuals with literature and provided them an opportunity to have direct and indirect contacts with the figures of Russian literature. Mastering experience of Russian classical literature is one of the main secrets of the accelerated development of national literature of the Chechen people.
