MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF MODERN RUSSIAN FEMALE POETRY

Poetry at the turn of the XX-XXI centuries is a heterogeneous and largely unexplored phenomenon. The fundamental importance is gained by the works in which the issues of the development of modem Russian poetry are considered systematically. One of the important trends of 1990-2010 is the flourishing of women's poetry. Despite the obvious cultural phenomenon as a whole, it has not yet been studied. This article offers an initial analytical review of this phenomenon. As a result, the following conclusions have been made. 1. A certain stage in the evolution of modern Russian wonEn's poetry is part of the general process - the heyday of Russian poetry of the 1990-2010-ies. 2. Modem female poetry occupies an increasingly prominent place in Russian literature, but it is not a monolithic cultural phenomenon. The artistic worlds of female poets are heterogeneous, have different genesis and require different interpretations. 3. A number of female poets show a tendency to be isolated within the general literary process, they somehow emphasize the gender of their work and are addressed mainly to the female audience. 4. There is a trend towards increasing thematic radicalization and formal diversity among female poets who have entered the literature in the last 15-20 years. The conducted primary analytical review gives grounds to assert that the current socio-cultural situation is favorable for the development of Russian women's poetry. However, there is no reason to talk about women's poetry as a phenomenon that has clear and constant characteristics. This is not a trend in literature or ideological unity, but the activity of individual authors, between whom only the most common speculative typological connections can be drawn.
