SHS Web of Conferences Vol. 28. P. 01095 (1-5)Abstract: The research is devoted to the problems of the language adaptation of the Russian émigré
community (1917-1940) abroad. It is conducted in the framework of sociology of literature, therefore,
sociological terminology and definitions are used. The Russian language is considered in the context of the
notions «assimilation» and «denationalization» in a particular historical period. The novelty of the
investigation consists in studying the Russian language as an object of special reflection for the Russian
literary emigration of the «1-st wave» and its creative instrument. The literary émigré community tries to
rethink the role of the native language, its functions and the peculiarities of it use in the émigré
environment. The Russian language becomes the object of discussion in various literary genres:
contemplations about the language could be met in fictional prose and poetry, in memoirs, and in the
epistolary genre. Different positions of the older and the younger generations are analyzed corresponding to
the use of the Russian language as a tool of social and cultural memory and a mode of keeping the national
self-identity.
