Abstract

The renowned poet Rasul Gamzatov, who hails from Dagestan's North Caucasus, is a prominent figure in Russian and international literature. This research study explores Gamzatov's life, works, and influence, focusing on his significant contributions to poetry and his function as a cultural ambassador. Gamzatov was raised surrounded by the rich cultural legacy of Dagestan from a young age, which greatly impacted his lyrical sensibility. He was born in 1923 into a family of intellectuals. His writings, which are read by audiences far beyond his native Avar tongue and Russian, touch on topics of love, nature, patriotism, and the human condition. In the context of political repression and Soviet cultural policies, Gamzatov's poetry became a potent voice that broke down barriers and encapsulated Dagestani culture. This study aims to clarify the lasting impact of Rasul Gamzatov, whose poetry continues to inspire and resonate with readers worldwide, through a thorough analysis of his literary work, cultural setting, and political participation.
