The Magazine "On the Rise" and the Formation of National Literature of the Peoples of the North Caucasus: N the Grip of Proletcult Ideology

The article attempts to show the contribution of the regional literary and art journal “On the Rise” to the formation of artistic literatures of the peoples of the North Caucasus in the course of cultural transformations in the region at the turn of the 1920s-1930s. It is substantiated that the publication, on the one hand, supported young national writers by publishing translations of their works, promoted their creative growth by publishing literary-critical articles and reviews, and, on the other hand, as an organ of the regional association of proletarian writers, actively imposed Bolshevik ideological paradigms of literary creativity on young national authors. This topic still remains poorly researched, which determined the relevance of the work. The main tendencies of literary processes in the national regions of the North Caucasus in the years of socialist modernization and their reflection in the publications “On the Rise” are revealed. The themes and problems inherent in the works of the first mountain authors are traced. The study introduces previously unused sources into the scientific turnover and provides new names of personalities. The analysis of achievements and shortcomings in the activities of the Soviet authorities in the implementation of the program of the cultural revolution in the national periphery is made. It has been established that the magazine “On the Rise” did not fully realize the tasks stated by the editorial board in the sphere of development of national literary movements. The study of the experience of formation of the literary space of young-written mountain peoples during the period of socialist transformation will improve the effectiveness of modern state policy in the field of national relations. The methods of concrete-historical and comparative-typological analysis of social processes and literary phenomena were used.
