The positive influence of Russian literature on the development of national languages and cultures is observed in the diachronic process of the cultural and historical development of various ethnic groups in Russia. The study of the dialogue between Udmurt culture and Russian literature is relevant and is analyzed in the context of the problem of assimilating Pushkin's legacy in the region.

   The purpose of the article is to review and systematize the experience of assimilating the traditions of Alexander Pushkin in translations into the Udmurt language of works of all literary genres (lyric, lyric-epic, epic, and drama), in the legacy of such famous Udmurt authors as K. Gerd, F. Vasiliev, and O. Poskrebyshev.

   Information on literary, artistic, and theatrical Pushkin’s legacy is provided in chronological order using cultural-historical, comparative-historical, and historical-functional methods.

   Particular attention is give n to the scholarly achievements of Professors B. O. Korman and S. A. Fomichev and the literary and local history aspects of studying the life and work of the Russian poet in the regional educational space through museum pedagogy.

   An extensive bibliography on the research topic is provided.

   The life of the outstanding Azerbaijani romantic poet Muhammad Hadi (1879-1920) was typical for a talented, free-thinking person in that time. M. Hadi's ideas of progress, of development of the publishing trade and industry, about problem of women emancipation sound throughout all his creative work. In his rich artistic creativity, in literary and critical works, Muhammad Hadi substantiated the ideological and aesthetic principles of national romanticism. Muhammad Hadi knew deeply Turkish, Oriental, and European literature and philosophy, and it was brightly reflected in his creative work. Unfortunately, like some other Azerbaijani and Turkish poets of that time, the complex expressions and Arabic-Persian poetic constructions in Muhammad Hadi's language create certain difficulties for the reader in correct perception and understanding this unique artist of words. A talented poet and contributor of the magazine "Fuyuzat" published by Ali bey Huseynzade lived a stormy and tragic life. The light, emanating from his romantic nature, his verses, which are valuable samples of art, as well as his quotations and translations, evoke powerful human emotions and resonate with his creative ideals.

   This article examines the representation of the national image of the world in the novel "A Camel Walked Across the Steppe" (2023) by Yana Boriz, a contemporary Russian-language writer from Kazakhstan.

   The novelty of this study stems from the need to examine the texts of translingual authors, in this case, a Russian-language Kazakh writer, and to introduce them into a broader scholarly context.

   This examination of the constants of the nomad's Cosmo-Psycho-Logos draws on the methodological developments of philosopher and literary scholar Georgy Gachev, dedicated to myth and national consciousness. The research material is Yana Boriz's novel "A Camel Walked Across the Steppe," which demonstrates the realization and embodiment of the constants of the nomad's worldview. This article examines the complex artistic structure of the novel, which gravitates toward a family saga (the narrative spans several generations of a family spanning the late 19^th and first half of the 20^th centuries). It utilizes both Western (linear structure) and Eastern (cyclization, repetition, and phrase rhythm) stylistic imagery at the macropoetic level. At the micropoetic level, it analyzes images significant for constructing the world of nomadic peoples (steppe, camel, mazar, koktal), as well as the leitmotif (caravan travel motif).

   It concludes that the author draws on mythological components, which expands the possibilities of a realistic narrative style.

   A number of techniques and means of artistic expression (subjectivization, correlating the novel's hero with a mythological or fairytale character) contribute to the characterization of both the continuum of macrohistory and the continuum of microhistory, as well as the inner world of the characters.

   The practical significance lies in the possibility of applying its results in the analysis of the poetics of national literatures, in the development of educational courses on the modern literary process.

   At around the time of her fifteenth birthday in 1767, Frances Burney made a bonfire of her juvenalia in the garden of her London home, intending to extinguish forever in their ashes her scribbling propensity. She was worried that even if she might turn into a popular author, that profession would be incompatible with respectability, for a woman. Eventually, she became less
enthusiastic about writing; however, over the next fifty years Burney wrote four novels which made her the best-known author of her generation, seven plays and voluminous diary which, with her correspondence, is one of the most revealing personal documents of the period. She was the friend of Sheridan, Garrick, Burke and Dr Johnson. Against her will, she was appointed Second Keeper of the Robes to Queen Charlotte, and lived at Court for five years during the time of George III's 'madness`. After an unexpected late marriage to a French refugee aristocrat she was detained for ten years in post-Revolutionary France. Burney's diaries fascinate modern readers as much as her novels do. They show that the Mother of English Fiction', as Virginia Woolf called her, was an anxious and vulnerable pioneer.

   The relevance of this article is bound up with the fact that we can consider Burney`s novels as representative examples of the social-psychological novels of the end of the 18^th – beginning of the 19^th centuries in the English literature, when the new principles of writing were produced.

   The results of analysis of these works may allow us to make deductions and generalizations, concerning the prose of the transitional period from the Enlightenment to Romanticism taking into account the tradition of the past and perspectives of evolution in the future – romantic time. The study of Burney`s novels, clearing up their specificity and national peculiarity, are given in context of the socio-cultural situation of the epoch, evolution of the spiritual life, politics and history.

   All these factors compile aims and tasks of this research.

   Burney investigated complicity of human feelings, richness of its manifestations and interrelation of person and environment In perspective critics can develop the study of similar problems in the works of the English authors of the 19^th and 20^th centuries.

   This article examines the compliment as a speech act and artistic device in 19^th-century Russian literature.

   Its relevance stems from the need to understand the values of noble culture, which will allow us to uncover the speech mechanisms of social hierarchy and verbal manipulation, previously neglected by philologists.

   The aim of the study was to identify the main types and functions of the compliment in works of fiction such as Eugene Onegin and The Captain's Daughter by Alexander Pushkin, and War and Peace and Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy.

   To achieve this goal, the following tasks were addressed: classifying speech strate g ies of complementarity, analyzing their role in characterization and plot development, a nd tracing changes in the use of this device.

   The scientific novelty lies in the use of a lingua-pragmatic approach to identifying the typology of speech strategies through comparisons that go beyond traditional stylistic description.

   The methodological basis of the study is speech act theory, lingua-pragmatic analysis, and lingua-stylistic analysis. The paper analyzes the functions of the compliment in the speech characterization of characters, plot development, and the reflection of social norms in literary texts. The study reveals the evolution of the compliment's function in 19^th-century Russian literature: from an instrument of social irony and typification in Pushkin’s works to a means of a deep psychological analysis and moral diagnosis in Tolstoy ’s works. It was established that adherence to or violation of the norms of sincerity transforms this speech act into an active element of plot formation, characterizing the spiritual integrity or manipulativeness of the characters. The function of the compliment evolves: in Pushkin’s works, it serves as a tool of social irony and character typification, while in Tolstoy’s works, it becomes a means of psychological analysis and moral evaluation of the characters. Prospects for further work are seen in expanding the corpus of texts studied, as well as in a comparative analysis of speech strategies.

   This article analyzes the works of Anatoly Alekseevich Burtsev, Doctor of Philology, Professor and Academician of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) Academy of Sciences.

   The relevance of this topic is determined by the scale, thematic range, and fundamental nature of his works, accompanied by in-depth analysis of numerous works of Yakut and world fiction.

   His monographs and articles reveal the methodological foundations of comparative literary studies using materials from the olonkho epic, Yakut prose, poetry, and drama.

   The purpose and objectives of the article are to identify the relevance of the problem and outline the main significance of Professor Burtsev's scholarly works; to determine the parameters of his research novelty on the history of Yakut literature in the context of contemporary problems of literary comparative studies.

   Methodologically, the article is based on studies of comparative issues in the works by A. D. Mikhailov, Yu. B. Borev, K. K. Sultanov, and P. M. Toper. The article is divided into two parts: Professor Burtsev’s works on the history of Yakut literature, and his contribution to the development of comparative historical studies of foreign literature in Yakutia's educational institutions. His findings confirm his hypothesis about the connection between Yakut literature and global literary process in the areas of genre and poetics.

   The novelty of Professor Burtsev's philological principles is also linked to his understanding of the debates around the work and scholarly biography of Yakut classic writers.
