Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to some self-reflection examples in the 20th century Belarusian military prose. The role of Lev Tolstoy’s ouvre in the formation of the artistic method of Belarusian writers who embodied the events of the First and the Second World Wars has been considered. The ways how to awake the interest to Belarusian literature devoted to 1914–1918 thanks to the national historical prose of the second half of the 20th century are determined (for example, the novel ‘Refugees’ by V. Karamazau). The references to foreign military prose (books by E.M. Remarque or E. Junger) present in the books of Belarusian writers of the second half of the 20th century have been discussed.
