Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to a comparative analysis of Russian and Uzbek prose in the second half of the 20th century. The study examines the typological similarities and differences in the development of literary traditions amid social and cultural changes of the 1970s–1990s. The author analyzes the influence of socialist realism on the formation of national literatures, the dialectical relationship between narrative psychologization and reader expectations, and the artistic strategies of Russian and Uzbek writers in addressing moral conflicts. Special attention is given to the parallels between the works of V. Rasputin and Uzbek prose writers (A. Yakubov, A. Mukhtar, N. Kabul, K. Kendji), whose works explore issues of national identity, moral choice, and the interaction between individuals and tradition.
