The Image of Albasly and Its Relationship with Female Images in Nogai Prose of the Second Half of the 20th Century

In the article, for the first time in science, the problem of the correlation of styles of texts created by representatives of aristocratic and productive classes is posed and investigated. A new, original understanding of the plot and conceptually significant elements of the Damaley-Broad Shoulders song cycle is proposed. A new methodological feature is being introduced: a systematic appeal to recreational practices and social standards of the ethnic group for the interpretation of not only factology, but also the deep (apperceptive) component of texts. The article is relevant, as it makes up for the scientific gap in the study of the Adyghe song heritage caused by ideological distortions in the Soviet period. The study is relevant not only for Adyghe philology, but also for the study of folklore of all newly written peoples, whose cultural history was subjected to similar pressure. The purpose of the article is to analyze the class specifics of figurative representations in Kabardian poetry of the pre-author period. Identify and describe the ratio of styles of texts belonging to different social strata (aristocracy and productive classes). To offer an interpretation of the key elements of the cycle "Damaley-Broad Shoulders" and through it to reach the figurative features and class specifics of the aesthetic reflection of the works. It was concluded that there is class specificity in the figurative system and aesthetic reflection of Kabardian poetry, determined by the social status of the creators of the texts. Correct interpretation of folklore texts requires constant references to vital (life) practices and social standards of the ethnic community, and is not limited to a superficial plot level. The ideological pressure of the Soviet period distorted the history of the formation and development of verbal creativity of the Adyghe peoples, which requires revision and clarification. The work marks a promising direction for further research, setting the methodology of analysis through the prism of social stratification.
