Abstract. The article is devoted to the comparative analysis of the poems "Cannibals" by M. Gafuri and "The Twelve" by A. Blok. The author states that the Tatar poet follows the great predecessor; however, continuing and developing Blok’s thought, he firstly demonstrates that the revolution brought hunger and devastation to the people of the country, and secondly, he does not romanticize the October revolution. The "village" represented in M. Gafuri’s poem personifies the starving country, the people, distraught with hunger. The key topic of hunger in the poem reaches global, apocalyptic scale.
Key words and phrases: голод 1921 г. в Поволжье, поэма "Людоеды" М. Гафури, поэма "Двенадцать" А. А. Блока, повесть "Люди" Г. Ибрагимова, образ "страшного мира", hunger of 1921 in Volga region, poem "Cannibals" by M. Gafuri, poem "The Twelve" by A. Blok, novel "People" by G. Ibragimov, image of "terrible world"
