Abstract: The subject of our study is the narrative strategies in the early poetry of A.E. Kulakovskii, considered by the example of his first published work – Abaahy Andaghara (The Oath of the Abaasy). Being a free translation of an abstract from the poem by M.Y. Lermontov, this literary piece is an original work of art of the Yakut poet that defines the type of lyrical discourse as narrative. The aim of the article is to single out features of the narrative strategies and how they manifest themselves in the creative work of the first Yakut poet, the founder of regional Yakut literature. The study sets the following the goals: to define methodological approaches in the study of the lyrical narrative aspects; to distinguish narrative instances in the poetic text under the study; to show the process of how the poetic genre has been established in the Yakut literature by the example of the syncretic text – the Oath of the Abaasy. Based on the methodological principles of narrative research, the features of the narrative instance that organizes communication in the lyrical text, as well as the features of the formation of the narrative structure of the lyrical text are revealed. The syncretic nature of the composition of the work (combination of poetic and prosaic texts, narrative and performative discourses) became a starting point for the poet in defining narrative strategies, i.e. communicative possibilities (dialogics, the author’s point of view), principles of narration based on the olonkho folklore storytelling traditions, as well as antinomy as a text-organizing artistic technique, etc. Conclusions and other final remarks made in the article could serve as a basis for an in-depth study of the specifics of the formation of a lyrical principle in national young and new-written literature, and for theoretical and methodological developments that reveal specific features of narration in a lyrical text
