Abstract:

The article considers the correlation of documentary as a kind of fiction with folk works by L.N. Tolstoy. The biographical material shows how the writer creatively comprehends the key features of this genre: expresses the actual events, enriches the applied function of the document, captures in specific phenomena the socio-typical properties, aesthetically evaluates the depicted realities in historical perspective, reliably uses the facts, entiches poetic imagery with publicistic pathos, describes the wanderings of the characters.

  • Keywords: L.N. Tolstoy, folk works, documentary as a kind of fiction, artistic synthesis of Tolstoy-educator.
