Abstract
Platon Alekseevich Oyunsky (1893 – 1939) was the founder of Yakut Soviet literature, a revolutionary, and a major statesman. Considering the Russian writer of revolutionary-romantic style Maksim Gorky as his teacher, Oyunsky founded the poetry of struggle and storm. Oyunsky was a bearer of the Yakut folklore and an olonkhohut storyteller. That is why his works at the levels of language, images and plots are closely connected with the oral folk art. As a scholar, he was the first to conduct a research on the Yakut heroic epic "Yakut tale (olonkho), its plot and content" (1927). He was also the first to compose a classic sample of the Yakut olonkho "Nurgun Botur the Swift" of 40 thousand lines (1932), thanks to which the whole world learnt this work, and the olonkho was recognised by UNESCO as a universal masterpiece (2005). The article aims to investigate the origins of Oyunsky's artistic method – romanticism. The question of topical importance is the definition of his creative method and style. The article aims to investigate the origins and principles of Oyunsky's artistic method on the basis of historical and specific method and genesis of the writer's creative quest. The study substantiates the conclusion that Oyunsky's romanticism determined his original and unique style in Yakut literature.
