Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the analysis of prose for children and youth of the second half of the twentieth century on the topic of war. The main emphasis is on the anti-militaristic orientation of the prose thinking of H. Tyutyunnik, Y. Hutsalо, M. Vingranovsky, who tried in their own way to avoid the traditional idealism in regard to their war and post-war childhood. The writers do not change their style and worldview guidelines; their work is consistent with the general aesthetic principles and trends in the development of literature in the 60s. of the XX century. As an artistic fact of the cultural epoch, it shows a complex of spiritual and emotional foundations in its development: vitality, optimism, love and faith, kindness, humanity, and the value of human life.
