Imalogical aspect of the study of Russian-Kalmyk literary relation

In the aspect of imagology as a direction of ethnopoetics, the process of forming a “Kalmyk” text based on ethological and artistic comparisons is considered. The Russian-Kalmyk figurative equivalents are given in projection on the problems of national identification and national character. The identification of the foreign-national specifics of the artistic image is associated with an emphasis on the ethnographic element.
