This article explores the motif of nostalgia and the specific artistic representation of Kazakhstan in contemporary Russian-language literature. It focuses on Svetlana Felde's stories, which reflect a unique perception of the homeland through the lens of memory and emotional experience. In her prose, Kazakhstan is presented as a space of memories that retains a spiritual connection with a lost cultural environment. Toponymic references and sensory images–smells, tastes, and sounds–are analyzed, serving as memory mediators and forming a holistic artistic image of the country. The study's methodological basis is a structural and psychoanalytic approach, allowing us to examine nostalgia as a mechanism for maintaining personal and collective identity in the context of migration and cultural rupture. The scientific novelty of this work lies in its first detailed examination of the poetics of nostalgia in Svetlana Felde's prose within the context of Kazakhstani texts in contemporary Russian-language literature. The results obtained allow us to conclude that the image of Kazakhstan in her works acquires the symbolic meaning of a "house of memory," uniting individual and national levels of cultural consciousness.
