This paper presents the problems of interpretation of Platon Alekseyevich Oyunsky's (1893-1939) personality, the Yakut classic writer, in terms of his self-identification, finding his place in literature, society and, in general, history, his struggle for truth and universal human values. The article uses a set of such traditional methods as historical-functional, typological and comparative. Interpretation of P. Oyunsky's contextual levels of creativity will allow to delve into the creative core of the writer, and reveal both his tasks and achievements in fiction. In the end of the analysis of the writer's creativity contexts, the integrity of his personality will be revealed. The artistic concept of Oyunsky's reality is realized in his philosophical works-"Nyukuus the Madman", "The Red Shaman", "Kudangsa the Great", "Alexander the Great", which become the starting point for the evolution of his worldview. The writer was looking for answers not only to hot-button issues of society, but he also talked about universal and eternal problems of existence. Particular attention was paid to the creation of heroic characters, fighting for the happiness of the people and changing the world. Oyunsky created Yakut literature of a new type, he became a writer of romanticism. The study of the literary context in the writer's work presupposes insight into the semantic depths of works to comprehend the author's concept of reality. Oyunsky, as a writer-philosopher, reflected on the universal problems of life and death, the appointment of man and his fate, the role of great people in history, the struggle between Good and Evil, Mind and Force. Oyunsky showed the triumph of Mind in his works, the eternal truths of mankind and foresaw that thanks to creativity, his name will not be forgotten by the people.
The article focuses on the problem of universal human values representation in philosophical novellas of the Yakut writer Nikolay Luginov. The author criticizes soullessness of modern individuals along with abandonment of national traditions. Human soul is the center of the writer's focus. He is searching for protagonists who actively fight of spiritual freedom, standing up for values and wisdom which have accumulated through centuries. Luginov places the archetypical character of the Elder as representative of the people; the one who protects ethnic mentality and traditions, as well as the one who perceived the essence of being. Elders remember the past, teach how to survive in the future and reach harmony in the complicated world (chaos) and nature (Cosmos). Human destination and connection to nature become the central problem of Luginov's philosophical novellas. The author speaks of universal problems of human life and survival in the modern world
