The poetics of «Happy Yakutsk» in Yakut prose of the 50–80s of the twentieth century

The purpose of the study is to identify the poetic features of the geocultural model «Dyolloh Dyokuuskai» (Happy Yakutsk), which was formed in the 50–80s of the twentieth century. The objectives of the article are to identify the artistic elements that form a single text of Happy Yakutsk; to determine the qualitative characteristics of the geocultural model of the «city-university»; to actualize the idea of creation as the main leitmotif of national prose of the 50–80s of the twentieth century. The novelty of the research lies in the study of the model of a «city within a city» – a university city, a student town of Sergeleeh, combining in its single semantic spectrum the structural levels of Happy Yakutsk: the evolution of the hero, the motive of dreams, the concept of happiness and youth, etc. It is quite interesting to interpret the concept of a white motor ship in the spectrum of national poetic imagery, which can be interpreted as the personification of a person’s dream in a narrow sense and as an image of Soviet absolutism, solemn and powerful, in a broad concept. As a result, the poetic features of the urban cultural model of the «university city» as the main chronotopic system in the model of Happy Yakutsk are determined; the place and role of the prose hero of the 50– 80s of the twentieth century, whose consciousness is extremely responsive to modifications of the surrounding landscape, are revealed.
