The repressed caucasians’ ethno-trauma expressed as “light” and “darkness” in selected writings of Idris Bazorkin

The relevance of the research topic is confirmed not only by the current crisis in the North Caucasus, but also the general situation in the Russian Federation. The historical context of the creation of Ingush writer Idris Bazorkin’s novel Iz t’my vekov reflects specifics of the self-preservation of the Ingush ethnos under the conditions of Soviet pressure. From an ethno-cultural linguistic viewpoint the opposition friend-foe exists here, associated with the light-darkness dichotomy where light is the native culture and darkness is the alien culture. © 2017 Muzeul Municipal Ioan Raica Sebes.
