Abstract
This scientific article analyzes Aleksandr Faynberg’s poem “TOSHKENT. 1943” in the context of cultural memory, urban environment, and psychological experience during wartime. The work portrays the daily life of Tashkent residents during World War II through small domestic details, personal tragedies, and fragmentary images. The study combines historical-social, semantic, and psychoanalytic approaches, demonstrating how Faynberg’s minimalist poetics conveys the emotional impact of war and reflects both the collective and individual memory of a generation.
