Abstract
The relevance of this article lies in the modern understanding of the journalistic heritage of the Kazakh scholar and academician R. Nurgali. To date, Nurgali’s journalistic legacy has not been deeply reflected in contemporary Kazakh or global literary criticism. The purpose of this study is to analyze the aesthetic principles of Rymgali Nurgali’s journalism and to identify the key features of his artistic mastery in the literary and journalistic fields. The scientific validity of the results is ensured through the use of both traditional methods and modern approaches in literary studies. The research compares the author’s theses with theoretical concepts in literary criticism, taking into account the distinctive characteristics of journalistic texts. The authors focus on how Nurgali’s aesthetic principles are reflected in the strategy of his journalism. The evolution of Nurgali’s critical and creative thought demonstrates his high level of mastery, as evidenced by his journalistic articles, which reveal the depth of his views. The main material of the study consists of Nurgali’s own journalistic novellas. The analysis examines the composition, language, stylistic, and genre transformations that recreate the inner world of characters against the backdrop of significant historical events and processes. This makes his journalism not only valuable for literary analysis but also an important contribution to the cultural and social understanding of his era.
