Description: The famous Khakass writer Nikolai Yegorovich Tinikov belongs to the generation of writers who actively and fruitfully worked in the 1960s–1980s, whose work still has no monographic research. The main purpose of the study is to identify the features of the artistic reflection of the Great Patriotic War theme in the Tinikov’s novel “The living do not die”, which has not previously become the material of a special literary study. The novelty of the work is due to the fact that the artistic features of the novel “The living do not die” are considered for the first time in the light of the lists of works of Soviet literature devoted to the theme of the Great Patriotic War, as well as the relevance of fostering a sense of patriotism among the modern younger generation. The tasks, aimed at considering the problematic-thematic and artisticaesthetic originality of the Tinikov’s novel, are solved based on the use of historical, cultural, structural, descriptive, and biographical research methods. The analysis of the novel revealed the artistic features of understanding the theme of the Great Patriotic War. The method of comparing biographical facts known from the Tinikov’s archival materials, stored in the Manuscript Fund of the Khakass Research Institute for Language, Literature, and History, with the text of the work testifies to the autobiographical nature of the novel “The living do not die”. With the help of the motif of the characters’ memories, space and time expand in the story; the events of the war years at the front and in the rear are narrated. The author turns to psychological techniques to convey the inner emotional and sensual state of the characters, to the creative development of folklore and ethnographic traditions and the use of artistic means in order to deepen the idea of the work, to reveal the image of a strong and willed hero -a former soldier, now a rural worker. The prospects of the research are related to the fact that its results may be in demand when analyzing other Tinikov’s novels in particular and a comprehensive study of the writer’s work in general, as well as the study of general trends in the development of the genre of a Khakass novel.
