Biography

Scientific activity

Mestergazi has studied documentary principle in literature. [2] Her monograph "Non-Fiction Experimental Encyclopedia; Russian version" is an attempt at generalizing and systematizing the problems associated with the "uninvented" prose phenomenon in Russian literature. It seeks to give a complete picture of the development of this kind of literature, describing and systematizing the existing terminology, and examining the complex theoretical and literary problems connected with studying this kind of work. E.G. Mestergazi's interests also include analysis of the writer's biography, creative work, and life problems. E.G. Mestergazi has devoted almost a quarter of a century to studying the life and works of one of the first Russian emigrants: the poet, philologist, and author of "Sepulchral notes", Vladimir Sergeevich Pecherin (1807-1885). Her work has resulted in two monographs, in which Pecherin is biographically examined both as a writer and as a character of Russian culture. [3]
