Abstract :In this article, the story Eghdam-e Mihan parastaneh (Patriotic Initiative) in which the author reflects his fictional world is analyzed. Although the artistic life of Bahram Sadeghi one of the strongest writers of contemporary Iranian short story literature, did not last long, he managed to be remembered as one of the remarkable names of Iranian literature thanks to the stories he wrote in this short period of time. In this article, which analyzes the story Eghdam-e Mihan parastaneh (Patriotic Initiative) in Bahram Sadeghi’s story collection Sangar o Qomqomaha-ye Khali (The Trench and The Empty Canteens) which consists of thirty stories, the author\'s life, style and works are mentioned after briefly giving information about the birth and development of the short story genre in contemporary Iranian literature in the introduction part in order to form the main material of the study. Then, the story was translated from Persian into Turkish and from this point of view, the story was analyzed in terms of plot, narrator and point of view, people, time, place, language and style, and narrative techniques. If we look in line with these titles, the subject of the story is the conservative reaction of a closed society against the outside world and the problematic of being happy with this closed \"self\" world and how mass psychology is manipulated in this way. The flow of the story is mostly achieved through dialogues. As in his other works, Sadeghi has opened the way for the development and expansion of the event by having his personalities speak instead of stream of consciousness. The end of the story, which has a solid fiction, ends with an ironic characterization. In the conclusion part of this article, evaluations on the story Eghdam-e Mihan parastaneh (Patriotic Initiative) are included based on the analysis.Keywords : Behrâm-i Sâdıkî, Çağdaş İran Edebiyatı, İkdâm-i Mîhen Perestâne (Yurtsever Girişim).
