The character of Federico Garcia Lorca in Uzbek and Azerbaijani poetry

Abstract

In the article is dealt with the creating a poetic image of Federico Garcia Lorca, one of the great poets raised by Spain in the 20th century and whose fate ended tragically, in modern Uzbek and Azerbaijani poetry. The fate and image of Garcia Lorca was extremely close and dear to the poets of Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan and it was not coincidence. Because in the 20th century, all Turkish peoples were the target for secret and open, brutal and bloody repression many times, when they were part of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union. Especially, dozens of incomparable artists of Turkish people such as Huseyn Javid, Ahmad Javad, Mikayil Mushfig, Yusif Vazir Chamanzaminli, Abdulla Gadiri, Abdurauf Fitrat, Abdulhamid Cholpan, Osman Nasir and others became victims of the Bolshevik-Dashnak regime. That is why in the 20th century the brutal murder of poets and artists, Federico Garcia Lorca and his colleagues who were innocent victims of the fascist regime in Spain, was approached very closely and sensitively in the literary environment of Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan. Uzbek and Azerbaijani poets praised Federico Garcia Lorca’s terrible fate, the unique tragedy of the great artist, like the unforgettable pain and sorrow of Mikayil Müşfig and Osman Nasir. In the article is analyzed tragic and dramatic fate of great Spanish poet and the description of his poetical world on a comparative and typological level.
