Abstract: The purpose of the study. The purpose of our research is to study the genesis of Naki Isanbet’s comedic text “Jiran chichan belan Karachach sylu” (“Red-haired chichyan and Black-haired beauty”, 1942).
Materials and methods of research: The material for the study was preserved in the archives of Naki Isanbet’s “Red-haired chichyan and Black-haired beauty” comedy versions. Its study allows us to reconstruct the nature of the author’s idea. The study was conducted using genetic, cultural-historical, and comparative research methods, the choice of which is determined by the nature of the analyzed text.
The novelty of the research consists in a comprehensive study of the history of the creation and existence of this comedy in Tatar culture and the identification of its role in popularizing information about the Golden Horde among the Tatars.
Research results. Naki Isanbet’s comedy “Jiren chichan belan Karachach sylu” (“Red-haired chichyan and Black-haired beauty”, 1942) is a vivid evidence of the valorization of national cultural values during the Great Patriotic War. During the short period the playwright managed to perpetuate national images of heroes on the stage: Idegey, Tulyak, Jiren chichyan and Karachech sylu. Their roots go back to the glorious history of medieval Tatar states. During the Great Patriotic War, the voices of Jiren chichyan and Karachech sylu (14th century) were heard from the Tatar stage, and people got acquainted with the instructions of Jamukha chichyan (12th century). The performance and the work were banned by censorship. The work was published in 1963 and returned to the stage in 1999 (directed by Farid Bikchantaev).
