Northern world, represented in this book has peculiar and clear cut exter nal boundaries (unique imagery, range of themes reflecting realities of life in the North) and inner openness, peoples appeal to each other in search for mutual understanding and spiritual kindred. CONCLUSION In the conclusion we will notice that the identity assumes preservation of traditional themes, images, archetypes in the literature. It concerns also an image of national character and a circle of life. The modem Sami literature keeps the ethnic mentality and the myths of the reindeer people. In Russian literature all the processes become complicated. In the first half of the XX century the tradi tional model of northern life and national Russian character represented by the local writers resemble the same in the western authors’ works in many ways. The Second World War demands the identity of universal human values. In the second half of the XX century the Kola North literature reflects the globalization tendencies, the evolution and the break from tradition in understanding of the national identity, we can see new image of Russians through the eyes of regional and European writers. These processes are similar to the Nordic literatures. Thus multi-cultural and postmodernism tendencies are not popular in contemporary Kola land literature. Regional writers prefer to analyse the reality and the rea sons of loosing identity. Nowadays we can see the opposing motion in litera tures of northern countries to look for “northern identity”, to create a dialogue between cultures. 99
