ABSTRACT
This article examines the similarities of the image of the Motherland in the works of Russian and Uzbek poets. Such
similarities are often observed mainly in works of art and poetry. One of the urgent tasks is to study the basics of their
origin, the types of poetic features inherent in each of them, artistic and aesthetic tasks, the expression of nationality
in their image.
KEYWORDS
Motherland, fatherland, concept, literary criticism, image.
INTRODUCTION
Despite the fact that the peoples of the world live at
great distances from each other and speak different
system languages, it is surprising that the works they
created have similar images and motifs.
Such similarities are often observed mainly in works of
art and poetry. It is noteworthy that in the
interpretation of the concepts of Motherland and
Fatherland, there is precisely such closeness. One of
the urgent tasks is to study the basics of their origin,
types, poetic features inherent in each of them, artistic
and aesthetic tasks, expression of nationality in their
depiction. As a result of this, the possibility of
identifying, in the context of world poetry, the
patterns of artistic and poetic thinking of mankind is
expanding.

Of great theoretical importance are the studies carried
out in world comparative literature to identify the
common
and
distinctive
features
of
poetic
phenomena, their specific features based on a
comparative study of their interaction.
Poetic works found in Russian and Uzbek poetry have
not yet been specifically studied in a comparative
typological direction, therefore the study of specific
features characteristic of their interpretation, the
expression of nationality in the image and
interpretation is one of the necessary issues.
At the current upsurge, when reforms are being carried
out in our country, much attention is paid to a deeper
study of poetic works, which have long been a strong
foundation of our spirituality. In particular, analysis of
the works of famous poets in a comparative direction
is a requirement of the time.
The concept of Motherland and Fatherland is relevant
and important due to the fact that a comparative
scientific study of the characteristics of nationality in
poetry, artistic and aesthetic tasks, its various
manifestations, poetic patterns associated with image
and interpretation also allows us to study Uzbek
poetry in the world poetic understanding.
“Currently, we are faced with important tasks in the
fight of the Enlightenment against ignorance in the
field of culture, teaching our youth to understand real
art, forming their aesthetic world on a healthy basis.”
[Sh.M. Mirziyoyev]
In the formation and theoretical development of
Uzbek comparative literature and translation studies,

R.Kasimov O. The research created by Fayzullaev
became
important.
From
this
R.Shirinova,
R.Fayzullaeva, Yu.Nurmurodov dissertations are
directly worthy of attention.
In them, the problems of studying Uzbek poetic works
in a conceptual direction became the subject of
research. The concept of Motherland and Fatherland,
its imagery, corresponding variants in Uzbek and
Russian folk poetic works, functions, and features of
nationality have not yet been specifically studied.
In the poetic works of Uzbek comparative literature,
one of the pressing issues has become scientific work
on studying the concept of Motherland and Fatherland
in a typological direction. However, poetry is analyzed
separately. Of course, even in such studies, feelings of
love for the Motherland and native land are glorified in
different images.
Also worthy of admiration is the question of the
figurative hero, his artistic responsibilities as the main
and secondary hero, and images of nature. But
conceptually oriented studies, in contrast, generally

explore the question of the roots of origin and poetic
interpretation through translation and comparison.
True, in Uzbek and Russian literary studies, a scientific
analysis of the poetry of writers, interpretation of the
Motherland and the region was carried out. It is known
that the whole world, all creatures in the Universe are
studied relatively competently (this is a dialectical law).
For example, in the poetry of E. Vakhidov and S.
Yesenin, the concept of Motherland and Fatherland is
subjected to a comprehensive typological analysis, as
well as translation. In particular, the domestic
“motives” heard in the works of poets are based on a
typological analysis of similarities and differences
through the images of Mother Nature, the bird woman
and the animal world.
The theme of the homeland is an organic and integral
part of the creative heritage of S. A. Yesenin. The idea
of loss, with which it is associated in Yesenin’s poetry,
reflects the eternal problem of life -
humanity’s longing
for original beauty and wisdom, for life in harmony
with nature. The poet's ambiguous attitude towards
the events taking place in his native country was
reflected in his poems. But his love for the “country of
birch chintz” remained unchanged and constant. Proof
of this are the words from the book by E. Guslyarov and
O. Karpukhin “Yesenin in Life”.
They amaze with their sincerity, one might say, the
hard truth: “After traveling around the world, Yesenin
had one love left - for Russia. And it was no longer love,
but a disease - hopeless and incurable. And everything
that concerned Russia now entered his consciousness
and soul like poison and new torment.He saw that
something was wrong with Russia. The initial delight
disappeared, and he saw that Russia was won in an
unclean game by sharpers and crooks. It has become
forever and ever a country of scoundrels. And nothing
can be fixed. All that was left was to scream... What he
shouted was monstrous, not always meaningful and
prepared. It was the scream and anger of someone
suddenly slapped in the face. The price of such a cry in
those days was a bullet. He sensed the death of Russia.
And he behaved as the last Russian in this world should
behave. Perhaps he was the last one, since he alone
clearly felt those great, irreparable losses, which we
began to suspec
t only now...”
The theme of the Motherland sounds in the works of
many Russian classics. Love for one's homeland and
one's people is a source of inspiration for many
composers, artists, writers and poets. The image of the
motherland in Russian poetry has many meanings and
interpretations. Each poet puts his own thoughts,
feelings and views on his homeland into this image. The
desire to raise their country even higher, even more
beautiful is the basis for their works. And it is difficult
to name a poet or writer who would not devote lines
to his homeland that come from the heart, the most
sincere, the most reverent.

The image of the motherland in Russian poetry has
deep historical roots. Over the centuries, Russia has
gone through many events and changes that have had
a huge impact on the perception and idea of the
homeland among Russian poets.
At the beginning of its development, Russian poetry
was closely connected with the idea of patriotism and
love for the motherland. In the era of the Middle Ages
and the Russian state, poets sang the beauty and
power of Rus', its historical heritage and national
identity. They created images of the homeland that
symbolized the unity and strength of the people.
During the period of Romanticism, which came to
Russia in the 19th century, the image of the homeland
became even more complex and multifaceted. Poets
such as Alexander Pushkin, Mikhail Lermontov and
Fyodor Tyutchev explored not only the external beauty
of their homeland, but also its spiritual dimension. They
expressed their feelings and thoughts about their
homeland through metaphors, symbols and emotional
images.
Today, the image of the motherland in Russian poetry
continues to develop and change. Contemporary poets
explore new aspects and meanings of the homeland,
reflecting modern challenges and problems. They
express their feelings and thoughts about their
homeland through a variety of images, symbols and
metaphors, reflecting their individuality and views on
the world.
The image of the motherland in Russian poetry is often
expressed through symbolism and metaphors, which
help poets convey their feelings and thoughts about
their homeland. Symbolism and metaphors are used to
create images that emdiv the idea of the homeland
and its significance to the poet.
One of the most common symbols of the homeland in
Russian poetry is Mother Earth. The earth is perceived
as a mother who nourishes and protects her children.
This symbol reflects the deep connection between
man and his homeland, as well as nature.
Another symbol of the homeland is the native land or
hometown. This is the place where the poet was born
and raised, where he feels at home. The native land
becomes a symbol of the homeland as a whole,
representing its ideals and values. Metaphors are also
widely used to convey the image of the homeland. For
example, the homeland can be described as a light that
illuminates the poet's life. This metaphor emphasizes
the importance of the homeland in the poet’s life and
its influence on his work.
Another metaphor that is often used is that the
homeland is like a fire. The fire symbolizes the passion,
energy and strength that the homeland inspires in the
poet. He may describe his homeland as a source of
inspiration and motivation for creativity.

Symbolism and metaphors help poets express their
feelings and thoughts about their homeland, creating
images that personify its significance and influence on
their lives. They help convey the emotional coloring
and depth of the poet’s relationship with his
homeland, making his poetic works more expressive
and memorable.
Modern Uzbek poets Usman Azim and Muhammad
Yusuf also turned to the image of the homeland. In
their poems they glorify boundless love for the
Motherland, its greatness and independence. They
directly appeal to their contemporaries, first of all, to
the younger generation.
Each of their poems is a passionate appeal to preserve
the identity of their region, to show the continuity of
generations through images.
Muhammad Yusuf is characterized by extraordinary
versatility in his perception of the world,
responsiveness to every movement of life and an
unbridled flight of imagination.
Muhammad Yusuf knew how to show life in its fullness
and diversity. But life for him is love. Without her, he
could not imagine himself either in life or in creativity.
That is why all his work is permeated with touching,
tender and reverent notes.
And yet the main theme of his poems was love for his
native land. He always wrote about Uzbekistan: both
at the beginning of his journey and in the later period
of his work. Although every poet writes about the
Motherland, only he wrote so sincerely and uniquely.
At the same time, Muhammad Yusuf’s poems
dedicated to his native land are distinguished by a
special mood, incredible plasticity and vivid imagery.
Only the most devoted and faithful sons of the
Fatherland could love the Motherland as much as
Muhammad Yusuf loved it! This is how he writes about
the Motherland in the poem “Uzbekistan”.
Spent days with you are a holiday for me,
If I part with you, I
’ll miss the topic.
I bow to those who know you.
I feel sorry for all those who do not know you.
Closely related to the theme of the Motherland are
poems dedicated to the mother. They convey not only
filial love for his mother, but also love for all mothers.
