Poetic creativity
R. Yusupov recalls when he took up rhymes, he tried to express feelings in verse. In his youth, this did not always work out. He studied the basics of versification, sizes. Over time, it became clear that poetry is written at the call of the heart. The themes of his poetry are determined by life itself. There are poems about dramatic events, about the suffering of the people. Subsequently, he moves away from the war, begins to philosophize, because he is already over 60 years old and it is necessary to comprehend the past.
Reflecting on how poems are created, he admits that some kind of impulse comes, and he involuntarily feels it. But if you set a goal, then it is difficult to write, and there will be no “zest”. Ruslan finds time to write after work, in the early morning or late evening. He believes that a poet sees more than an ordinary person and that higher feelings are expressed in poetry. Striving for the sublime, noble - that is what drives the poet. And about this he must tell others. The poet is more impressionable, vulnerable, sensitive …
He is the poet of life. His works are attractive and melodic. They become songs. The hero of the musical project "The Voice" Sharip Umkhanov has a song to Yusupov's poems in his repertoire.
Kind civic poetry
The main idea of some poems is that whatever happens in the world, the Chechens are to blame. In the lines, the author's pain from such an understanding of events is felt. He is a real protector of his people.
R. Yusupov loves to write about good deeds, about kind words, about a kind smile that can be given to each other. Kind words are also very important in our life. What will we leave behind? According to the author, it is a particle of a kind heart. After all of us in the world, there will be a crown woven out of kindness.
Poetic philosophy of love
In his poetic baggage there are the wisest philosophical poems about what love really is. The name itself gives the answer. No wonder the author used textual antonyms - poison and balm. By this he said everything at once.
Often in his poems there is sadness about separation. Winter. People are not together. Will they step together in the spring? Not. And they cannot meet summer dawns together. The gray-haired time has already come, but they are not together. And so the next round of seasons, because there is no place where they would always be together.
Meetings with the younger generation
R. Yusupov loves to meet with students, schoolchildren, young poets. He advises not to be afraid to express an opinion, to express what is in your soul, to write as soon as it becomes clear that you were inspired by something.
