method of understanding the studied material. Hermeneutical and axiological
methods of analysis aimed at revealing deep meanings have made it possible
to explore artistic material more effectively. In the final part, the conclusions are
formulated reflecting the peculiarities of the development of Ossetian children’s
prose of the second half of the XXth century in the context of the development of
North Caucasian children’s literature/ In theoretical and practical terms, the work
