Author’s forms and techniques of embodiment of psychologism in G. Pinyasov’s novellas («The Hot Summer», «The Cross»)

Introduction: the article is concerned with the study of psychological analysis in G. Pinyasov’s novellas, one of the wellknown representatives of modern Mordovian prose. Due to the fact that psychologism is a pronounced stylistic dominant of the author’s work, the main forms and techniques of artistic comprehension of the processes of internal intentions of the characters became the subject of analysis. The work fits into the complex of studies of Finno-Ugric literary studies concerning the principles and means of artistic expression of the writer. Objective: to present an analysis of artistic forms and techniques of psychologism in G. Pinyasov’s novellas. Research materials: the novellas by G. Pinyasov’s. Results and novelty of the research: the main results of the research are related to the scientific reflection of the author’s forms and techniques of psychologism in the prose experiments of G. Pinyasov, the study of the totality, significance and functionality of methods and means of comprehension, full and deep disclosure of the inner world of artistic images. The analyzed novellas indicate the writer’s attraction to the disclosure of various psychological states of a person, in connection with which the emotional manifestations, individual intentions of the characters completely absorb the author’s attention. In order to create the most complete artistic image, interpretation of feelings, thoughts, motives of behavior, desires, representations of the character, the author combines and complements external (visual portraits, direct author’s reflections, personal actions, actions, images-symbols, dialogues, speech of the hero, etc.) and internal (monologues, introspection of the hero, flashbacks, confessions, emotional reactions, presentation of thoughts, etc.) characteristics. The scientific novelty is due to the identification of the peculiarities of interpretation and artistic load of forms and techniques of psychologism in the text space of G. Pinyasov’s novellas. Due to the fact that the critical material about the author’s work is only a partial description of the forms and means of comprehending the characters of people, their inner world, it becomes necessary to actualize and systematically analyze psychologism in the author’s epic experiments.
