Intertextual connections between Russian classical literature and contemporary prose of the peoples of the North Caucasus

this article is devoted to the study of intertextual connections between Russian classical literature, in particular the works of Fyodor Dostoyevsky, and contemporary prose of the peoples of the North Caucasus based on the works of Alisa Gatieva and Kanta Ibragimova. The focus is on analyzing how North Caucasian authors creatively assimilate and transform key philosophical and moral issues, artistic techniques, and character archetypes characteristic of Dostoevsky. We suggest that dialogue with the "great" Russian tradition serves as an important tool for them to comprehend the complex ethno-social and spiritual processes in contemporary Caucasian society. The work systematically examines such aspects as the reception of the ideas of "populism," the paradoxes of freedom and responsibility, as well as the mechanisms of artistic embodiment of "metaphysical rebellion" in new cultural and historical conditions. The conclusion is that intertextual dialogue with Dostoevsky's legacy allows contemporary authors not only to bring national literature to a universal level, but also to create a unique artistic synthesis that enriches both the Caucasian and Russian literary traditions.
