Devotee of Independence – Ahmad Javad

Abstract

Ahmad Javad is a prominent representative of the socio-political poetry of the early twentieth century. The article analyzes his works, which are dominated by the idea of national independence.

It is concluded that, using symbolic methods, the poet expressed his views on freedom both in lyrical verses and in poems created not only in the times of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic, but also in the Soviet period.

Ahmad Javad was executed during the 1937 repression for not betraying his beliefs in national independence by sacrificing himself to the idea of ​​sovereignty.
