Abstract
The documentary fiction prose texts, based on real events, are analysed. Approximately in 1960-s the study of the Great patriotic war as a people’s war became of a paramount importance for the Belarusian literature. Documentary literature gives a more upright and unbiassed analysis of the situation. The eyewitnesses of the burnt villages, the survivors of siege, the women-participants of the warfare, after all, the children, whose fates were mutilated by war, give the truthful picture of the reality of the time. Documentary texts about war , such as “I Am from a Burning Village” (by A. Adamovitch, J. Bryl, W. Kalesnick); “Book of a Siege” (by A. Adamovitch, D. Granin); “War does not have a woman's face”; “The last eyewitnesses”; “Zink box boys” (by S. Alexievitch). The experience given by literature shows us that in order to be a good judge of human nature one needs to take into account the real events of the past and the surroundings. The authors wanted to mirror terrible hostilities from different angles. Documentary fiction accomplishes to the limit the tasks set by the authors. The literary genre in question serves one of the highest purposes, notably, that of the truthful reflection of life.
