Annotation Despite the attention of researchers to the phenomenon of modern traditionalist prose, the question of its critical reception remains unexplored. From the beginning of the emergence of “village prose”, nationally patriotic magazines strengthen its value position. The article presents an analysis of the approaches that are used by critics, “patriots” in the interpretation of the works of writers “villagers”. The material was the latest criticism of the magazines Nash Sovremennik (Our Contemporary), Moskva (Moscow) published in the 2000s and 2010s. As a result of the analysis, we identified four groups of approaches: biographical, historical and cultural, sociological and axiological. A biographical approach is fundamental to “patriotic” criticism. As part of it, the most significant facts of the biography and personal qualities of the writer which influenced his work are highlighted. The historical and cultural approach provides an answer to the question of what place the modern traditionalist prose and its individual authors occupy in the literary process. The approach in which reality is the “key” to the interpretation of the work shows how the described in the work corresponds to reality and reveals one of the fundamental principles of “patriotic” criticism: a work of art should highlight the problems of the people and the state. The axiological approach reveals the actual values that are realized in the works under consideration: agape, feeling of nature, native culture, reliance on Orthodox values, industriousness, morality and spirituality. The above approaches work to strengthen the position of writers “villagers” in the literary field and to uphold their views in the ideological field.
Key words modern traditionalist prose, writers “villagers”, literary and critical discourse of “patriots”, interpretative approaches
