The article examines the image of Buryatia as a socio-cultural space of a small homeland in the poetry of M. Shikhanov, V. Lipatov and A. Shchitov. The study of various spiritual, cultural, historical layers in the poems of the poets allows us to identify the peculiarity of the image of Buryatia. This is the novelty of the presented work. In this aspect, the poetry of the Russian lyricists of Buryatia has not been studied at all. The poetry of Mikhail Shikhanov, Anatoly Shchitov and Vladimir Lipatov is united by many things. Firstly, the years of the poets' lives and their creative activities coincide in time with only a small difference. Secondly, the formation of poets falls on those years when the motif of "quiet lyrics" is emerging and strengthening in Russian literature, and the appeal to the small homeland becomes dominant. This is how the image of Buryatia is revealed in their poems. The research is based on cultural-historical, descriptive and comparative methods.
