The article is a preliminary study of contemporary Chechen bard Timur Mutsuraev
and texts of his songs. The underground bard and active participant of the First
Chechen War has become a legend and symbol of the Chechen struggle for independence
and freedom. Despite strong anti-Russian and Islamic message Mutsuraev’s
songs are popular not only among independence-oriented Chechens but also
among Russian youth. Most of Mutsuraev’s works are patriotic war-songs glorifying
national effort to defend Chechnya against Russian aggressors. The artist celebrates
Chechen national symbols, myths and ethos. Mutsurayev’s songs are particular interesting
subject of study in context of postcolonial theory.
