Abaza love and landscape lyrics of the 1950s.

. Based on the analysis of approximately 30 literary texts, the paper clearly indicates the genesis and evolution of love-landscape themes during one of the early stages of the construction of national literature. The topic is of philological significance since it exposes the roots of the later developed layer of Abaza lyrics, which is represented by the names M. Chikatuev, M. Tlyabicheva, and K. Mkhtse.

The primary research methodologies were descriptive, noting the distinguishing aspects of poetry works based on observations and interpretative, revealing the artistic content of texts and their meanings. Not only P. Tsekov, K. Dzhegutanov, B. Thaitsukhov, J. Laguchev, M. Chikatuev, who later became popular poets, but also I. Tabulov, M. Fizikov, Sh. Fizikov, P. Dzugov, B. Kenzhev, A. Tambiev, Z. Mamatova, who are little known today but participated in the literary process of their time, are studied.

Throughout the study, it is proven that a distinguishing feature of 1950s love and landscape songs is their saturation with social and industrial causes, from which liberation is intended by the end of the decade. Sh. Fizikova’s poetry “The Path Tells” has lyricization of the love topic, B. Thaitsukhov’s poem “The Girl’s Song” contains psychologization of the lyrical subject, and M. Fizikov’s poem “Sing Along and You” contains an alternation of love themes and landscape sketches.

The initial landscape poems have a detached declaration of nature’s indications, a lack of vocabulary, and inappropriate repetitions, which are eventually replaced by the authors’ ability to adapt what they saw into poetic imagery, developing them in a logical sequence. And plastic is evident in the best works of K. Dzhegutanov, M. Chikatuev, and B. Thaitsukhov, a harmonic synthesis of form and content, filling the artistic text with expressive linguistic means.
