L. Klyuchareva The Wooden Sun in terms of cyclization. N. L. Kluchareva's work, consisting of a number of small essays, was written at the beginning of the XXI century and presents a deep understanding of Russian realities. Analyzing the motive structure of The Wooden Sun on the basis of classical and modern literary concepts, the authors single out a number of cycle-forming motives that characterize such key concepts for the Russian national character as Motherland, road, home, loss, consider the ways they are implemented in the texts of essays, identify the role of these motifs in shaping the author's idea and reconstructing the author's holistic picture of the world. The system of motifs in N. L. Klyuchareva's work is an important means of combining essays into a cycle, building structural connections and relationships within the cycle, allowing at the same time to identify the sense and meaning of each of the essays under analysis. The authors of the article pay attention to the artistic uniqueness of the works that make up the cycle and create a contradictory image of contemporary Russia. Special emphasis is placed on the intertextual connections of the works included in N. L. Klyuchareva's cycle “The Wooden Sun”. The analysis of cycle-forming motifs makes it possible to identify the main ideas of the work and draw conclusions about its artistic originality. The authors of the article believe that N. L. Klyuchareva's appeal to the motifs of Motherland, road, home, etc. indicates a serious interest of the modern prose writer to the values traditional for national literature.","PeriodicalId":236873,"journal":{"name":"World of Russian-speaking countries","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121131188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article emphasizes that since the formation of the modern national state, borders have become an important part of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the state, and during the formation of modern states, the process of establishing a border between the two countries has almost always been accompanied by controversy, even large-scale wars or the threat of war. The formation of the russian-chinese border also took place in similar conditions. The author traces in detail the history of RussianChinese relations in terms of resolving border problems, comments on the main stages of China-Russian negotiations on border delimitation issues, characterizes the main border agreements concluded between China and Russia (Nerchinsky, Kyakhtinsky, Aigong and Beijing), assessing the difficulties in signing agreements from the positions of the Chinese and Russian sides. The article justifies the importance in the settlement of the China-Russian border issue: the creation of new conditions for cooperation in many specific areas, such as economic and trade exchanges, environmental protection, rational use of resources, shipping and the joint fight against crime in the border areas; improving the external situation and maintaining national security in the both countries. The article concludes that today Russia and China as a whole have reached a settlement of border issues, which made it possible to create conditions for long-term relations of strategic partnership and mutually beneficial cooperation","PeriodicalId":236873,"journal":{"name":"World of Russian-speaking countries","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123718800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
