Aesthetics and pragmatics of language memory in the problematic essay by VG Rasputin "The Russian Ustye"

Language memory, which connects the past and future of the people, organizes the concept of the essay "The Russian Ustye", draws the composition of the problem material and its imagery. The image system is cemented by the motifs of the language memory of the "russkoustintsi" , rooted in the distant past; linguistic memory of the hero-narrator, which unites three social hypostases - the collective, the group, the person; the author's own language memory, which organizes the discourse of the problematic essay that attests to the picture of the world and the ideals of life, the dominants of the world outlook, ethical and philosophical guidelines and artistic and aesthetic, including speech, publicist preferences. To awaken the memory of the wisdom of life and spiritual strength of the nation, thanks to linguistic memory, in order to create a present and future worthy of ancestors is a pragmatic task, a philosophical and aesthetic setting of an essay that formalizes an artistic and publicistic canvas. It seems that the long-term aesthetic searches of V. Rasputin are both socio-pragmatic and communication-oriented.
