Abstract
The article analyzes Denis Osokin’s story «Yellowhammers», dedicated to the literary reconstruction of the national cultural tradition of the merya people. This story, a kind of literary Odyssey through the former lands of the merya people, is considered as the most complete representation of the cultural codes of modern merya. The writer refers to the mythological picture of the world, focusing on the values of the modern small ethnic people, thereby “fixing” the Volga ethnic groups on the cultural map of modern Russia, legitimizing the right of small peoples to accept their historical heritage.
