AB - This work studies how the Kalmyk nationality, a symbol of
Mongolian-Asians, appears in Russian literature especially in Pushkin's
literary works. The European-Asian problem is a big issue that crosses
time even in a very enormous and multiracial country such as Russia,
where various people have their own traditions and way of life. Especially
a minority race, which succeeds from Mongolian blood, with their heart
in Russia and in Russian’s territory, where they have lived, have been
a matter of interest for the Russian writers. Expressly the Kalmyk
Republic, situated near Caucasus, in the capacity as symbolic literary
material, was a huge attraction for Pushkin, who was so interested in
literary places not only in big cities like Moscow or Petersburg, but in
Russian’s provincial literary worlds too. Pushkin, having visited the
Kalmyk praries himself, introduces the Kalmyks, the Kalmyks, the
descendent of Mongolian as a minoring race handing down the Oriental
culture of in Russia. Pushkin’s view on the Kalmyks tends to be
fragmentary and deficient, therefore making it guilt difficult to define their
identity precise. However, Pushkin successfully introduces Kalmyk’s
existence to Russian people, who rarely know about the Kalmyks.
Pushkin, in his own literary works of various genres (i.e. “Story about
Pugachev,” “A Captain's Daughter,” “Army Trip to Arzrum in 1829” and
the poem “To a Kalmyk Woman”), portrays Kalmyk people - people
keeping to their own culture, way of life, and religion (Shamanism and
Buddhism), despite the fact that they had lived in a Russian territory for
more than 2 centuries as peace-loving, simple, genuine and hospitable
people - much like a naive woman with “a wild charm.”
