Summary/Abstract: This article analyzes Belarusian narrative stories of the 1920s. The author of the article argues that the narrative stories of this period, maintaining the main features of the genre naturally stand out in each individual case. The form of narrative construction is equally important for the genre modification. First-person narration gives the illusion of a full psychological “immersion” in the introverted world of personal experiences of the protagonist. The construction of the narrative histories in the form of third person allows the author to conduct creative experiments to combine subjective and objective forms of narration.
