not butter but wind was in need then” [Maslov, 2004, vol. 2, p. 150]. Panteleeva writes that “Acute sense of truth rooted in ethic and ethnical people’s experience is inherent to Maslov. “He writes passionately and lyrically, using “live and in finitely diverse in its shades Pomor’s language” [Panteleeva, 2004, vol. 2, p. 156]. According to Maslov, man enters the world in his individual identity, his concept of people, as that of Tolstoy’s, is made up of multitude of destinies and volitions. The global world and civilization destroy what is most important in humans - moral attitude to their land and their people’s history. It is not by chance that it is Vitaly Maslov who becomes initiator of the Days of Slavic writ ten language and culture revival in Russian. Nikolai Kolychev is, undoubtedly, a poet of land; his traditions derive from Koltsov, Esenin, and Rubtsov. His imagery, range of metaphors, themes and intonations are Russian and Christian. It is love for life and motherland, compassion and sympathy to a human being, spiritual seeking that make the base of his poems. Again under the sky in tears, sad rains Are sprawled-all over Russia And I am roaming and from last yellow leaves Am kissing off the rain drops. Save me, my land! I am so tired Of living in evil. I am sick with thirst of revenge, And you radiate goodness Forgive me and teach to forgive. The land’s end, the sea’s end, the world’s end... This is the way I love you. Not by chance was I bom in this Town on the very fringe [Kolychev, 2004, p. 300-305]. Kolychev’s lyrical hero is in search for moral sense of life, its natural beauty, he is responsive to good and somebody else’s grief and he is, in general, a traditional for Russian literature character who preserved identity to Russian national character in his conscientiousness and action. However by the end of XX century the character of a Russian man living in the North loses its ideal feature in the eyes of European authors. The expected Future seemed surprisingly real for by the western account. We can speculate that North was effected by globalization processes, in modern civilization man is no longer dependent on nature, and his life became standard. It does not mean that national identity traits were lost but they are not fully demanded in this time and mode of life. In this sense an ironic and simultaneously lyrical poem “Zina in Murmansk” by a famous Irish poet Paul Durcan is interesting, it was written in mid 1980s. He visited Russia three times in 1986 however he had never been to Murmansk. 95
