The paper analyses the panoramic, monumental works of the 1960s - the trilogies by Z. Biisheva, F. Isangulov, Ya. Khammatov with a complex composition, with a lyrical, tale-like, publicistic style of narration. These historical-revolutionary trilogies were a new stage of genre formations in national literature. Their genre and content-related features are inseparable from the previous literary experience, the achievements of the historical-revolutionary novels by A. Tagirov, G. Khairy. The appearance of historical novels in the 1970s meant the movement of the genre, the expansion of its typology, the position of the socio-historical and moral experience of the people. The aim of the study is to shed light on the interrelation and interaction of epic structures, various genre-stylistic trends in Bashkir prose in the second half of the XX century. The scientific novelty of the study lies in identifying the relationship of national literary epic traditions, the genre-stylistic features of the first Bashkir novels with the novels of the second half of the XX century, more specifically, with the novels of the 1960s-1980s. The results obtained have shown that the first novels, created as a synthesis of genres and styles, had a powerful influence on the emergence of various genre-stylistic trends in Bashkir prose in the 1960s-1980s.

The article examines developmental peculiarities of the Bashkir prose of the 1950-1960s against the background of social and historical changes of the "thaw" period, which is characterized by the rise of interest for an individual. The author analyses principles of realistic description of reality, reveals genre and style specificity, identifies the range of problems and considers the problematics of large-scale epic forms. The findings allow concluding about evolution of the Bashkir novelistics from a sociological survey to a psychologically relevant description of contemporaries' spiritual world.
