Abstract

The article presents the results of the study on the influence of the folk epic genre alyptyg nymakh - as the most important part of the Khakass traditional culture-on the development of fiction writing (using the example of a poem). The author has made an analysis of poems of Khakass writers, classics of literature A.M. Topanov, N.G. Domozhakov, M.E. Kilchichakov, in whose literary work the folklore poetics plays an essential role. In modern Khakass literature, the genre alyptyg nymakh can be considered a separate genre, which is related with the appearance of the author’s alyptyg nymakh “Khan Tonis” by M. R. Bainov in 1994. In the previous authors’ works, there is a creatively proactive use of plots, motifs, fragments, speech patterns of folklore, but M.R. Bayinov’s “Khan Tonis” is an example of the functioning of the author’s alyptyg nymakh in literature.
