Abstract: The article analyzes the origins of the formation of Kabardian new written literature of the 20–30s. The characteristic and main trends in the development of Kabardian poetry are considered (Bekmurzа Pachev, Tut Borukaev, Ali Shogentsukov, Alim Keshokov, Liuan Gubzhokov, etc.). The goal is to reveal artistic achievements and contradictions in the literary process itself, the work of individual writers and works of art. As a result of the study, it was revealed that the literary process was determined by a complex political and cultural synthesis, ideologization underlying artistic thinking. The centuries-old logic of the development of national literature should be considered as an evolutionary process that fit into Soviet globalization, opening up new ways for the further development of Kabardian literature in the conditions of modern cultural universalization.

Keywords: Kabardian literature of the 20–30s, evolution, aesthetic relevance, ideologization
