Abstract
The article examines national symbolic images in the drama of the Volga region (using the material ofthe Chuvash and the Mari literatures) with the special focus on identifying the authors’ common and specific ways ofreflecting the national picture of the world. The analysis revealed that the playwrights give a special place among thefundamental images to the image of mother, which is associated with the images of house, village or homeland. Thestudy was aimed at determining the place and significance of these images in the artistic system of the modern nationaldrama of the Volga region using the historical and cultural analysis and the comparative method as the most relevantresearch tools. In regional literary studies, there are works addressing the symbolic images in individual nationalliteratures, but there are no comparative studies, which confirms the novelty of this research. This line of researchhelped to reveal common meta-senses characteristic of the Chuvash and Mari literatures. They both use the image of mother as a means of expressing the authors’ stances on contemporary national and moral issues, including the issues of preserving traditions and the spiritual heritage of the people.
