Abstract

The article examines the works of art of Russian and Uzbek literature from the point of view of the spiritual connection of writers of different nationalities; the relationship between the world and man; analyzes the heroes of works of art as an integral part of the world, influencing the education of student youth of Uzbekistan. In practical classes and seminars, Uzbek students learn the basics of comparative analysis of the novels of the Uzbek author Togay Murodi “The Field Inherited from the Father” and the Russian writer Vasily Shukshin “Lyubavins”. It is noted that the work of the classic of Uzbek literature Togay Murod and the creative heritage of the Russian writer Vasily Shukshin have been studied in sufficient detail, but the works of these writers have not been considered in a comparative-contrastive sense. There are no works showing the process of comparative study of both novels in the Uzbek audience. In the process of comparative analysis of the works of both writers, who deeply reflected their time and their hero in it, Uzbek students should understand that it is this approach to studying the works of modern writers that helps them to comprehend such concepts as “soul”, “spirit”, “national character”, “mentality”, which is reflected in the language, speeches and dialogues of the heroes of the works. The works of writers give a historical excursion into the past of each country, analyze the socio-psychological desire of people to find their place in society. These concepts were used to understand the national character, specific cultural structures of different peoples in universal in form and content ideas of works.
