Summary/Abstract: When analyzing problems, images and artistic details the author of the article discusses particular interpretation of the January uprising in 1863 in the works of Russian writer V. Krestovski and Polish writer S. Żeromski. Special attention is paid to the characteristic features in the images of rebels and their political opponents. It is argued that the artistic interpretation of historical events in a literary work is based on the conceptual modelling of a historical fact and writer’s deterministic understanding of the historical process.
