Abstract. The paper analyses the early creative work of V. I. Avdeev, a Russian writer whose life and writings are connected with Yakutia. The aim of the research is to identify the uniqueness of the range of themes and problems in V. I. Avdeev’s early prose. In this regard, the writer’s works are examined in the context of moral and genre searches in the Russian Soviet literature of the 1970s-1980s. The paper analyses the transformation of industrial and moral conflict, the thematic range in the writer’s novels and short stories created during this period. The scientific originality of the paper is accounted for by the fact that Avdeev’s heritage remains little studied. The paper is the first to suggest a periodisation of Avdeev’s oeuvre, to pay special attention to the early stage, as it largely determined all his further creative work. The research findings show that the writer’s prose raised social and moral problems, which brought it closer to the “urban” and “rural” literature of that time, the industrial themes were combined with the features of slice-of-life literature. The thematic and genre preferences inherent in his early writings made it possible for Avdeev to continue his active work as a writer in the post-Soviet period.
