ABSTRACT

This article aims to establish the corresponding uniformity of Korean and Russian literary tendencies and to search for the first research model of Tatar literature and Korean literature. Tatarstan is a minority ethnic state in Russia, and Tatar literature has no precedent research among Russian literature. Beyond the simple comparison of the two writers, Yun, Dong-ju (1917-1945) and Tuqay (1886-1913), it has been examined how the poetry of salvation is achieved in their works based on their religious world views. There are several comparative studies between Yoon, Dong - ju and the writers of other countries. Compared with these precedent studies; however, the significance of this paper is that it is the first time that the religious aspect in the Tatar lyric poetry of the early 20th century and the Korean lyric poetry of the 1930s - 40s were studied synthetically from the perspective of comparative literature. In the same reality of the colonies, the life and the literature of the two poets did not stop at the level of the intellectual’s frustration and internal conflict, but tried to realize the universal values, such as national enlightenment and humanity, which suggest to us a lot today, who live a poverty life in abundance. A comparative literary study of Yun, Dong-ju who lived as a minority in Choson in front of the great Western powers and imperialism, with Tuqay who was also a member of ethnic minority, Tatarstan, the ruled country in the Russian Federation, was possible, since Yoon in the late 19th century and Tuqay at the beginning of the 20th century, who lived in the same era in which new modern aspects appeared transiently, despite their short life of 29 and 28 years, respectively, both had common life attitude to overcome the phenomenon of that era according to their religious beliefs. It is desired to see that this study will lead to more in - depth comparative studies of Korean literature with various minority literatures in the Russian Federation.
