and ideological impact of the indifferent attitude to the Karabakh conflict during the years of Soviet rule is

In the article a special place is given to the analysis of the stories written about the first Karabakh war in the
2000s – the period of relative stability. “Gymyr” by Azer Abdulla, “Permitted blood” by Alabbas, “Melting
candle” by Salida Sharifova, “Hold your hand” by Nizami Alioglu, “The branch of their houses hill” by
Bahar Bardali, “The grave left in the mountains” by Vusal Taghibayli, “The guilty man” by Alamzar
Sadiggyzi, Agil Hajiyev's “Corridor” and Garib Mehdi's “Ah, land...land” stories are interpreted in terms of
subject and content. The reflection of the bitter traces of the Karabakh war on the mental state of the heroes,
a dynamic attitude to what is happening, penetrating into the deep layers of reality, determines the main dramatic line of the stories. The aesthetic diversity imparted by prosaic thinking to the spontaneity of
narrative is manifested in the text of the stories.
