Abstract

The present article is aimed at studying how Serbian national self-consciousness is reflected in epic songs. The key source for the analysis was the evidence and research by Russian, Serbian and foreign scientists, writers and cultural figures, including N.V. Gogol, I.I. Sreznevsky, P.I. Preys, A.N. Pypin, J. Cvijić, Alphonse de Lamartine, and A. Reiss. Serbian folk songs composed in the times of the Ottoman yoke are claimed to have promoted national self-consciousness and preserved historical memory. Serbian heroic epos was remarkably widespread in Montenegro and along the Military Border, the site of continuous wars against the Turks. The heroic element of the Serbian tradition is inseparable with the Christian philosophy, which is vividly depicted in the songs of the Kosovo cycle: they are imbued with the spirit of sacrifice and the love of freedom of the knights of the Battle of Kosovo. In the conclusion of the article, it is highlighted that the naturalness of images in Serbian folk songs and their ideological and artistic value have been of vast educational importance and have had a considerable moral influence on many generations of the Serbs.
