Abstract
The need to study the mood in society in times of crisis prompts the study of materials of fiction, which, being an autobiographical work, tells about the events that the author himself witnessed. The subject of this work is the atmosphere and socio-political mood in Tambov in the first half of 1918, described in the story of B. Dalny “Romantic Story”. Despite some bias, the writer quite accurately describes the political events that took place around him, reflecting the constantly deteriorating economic and political situation in the city. As a result of the analysis of this literary source, the significance of the work dedicated to the events of Russia’s exit from the First World War is shown. Particular attention is paid to the period of the establishment of Soviet power and the description of the anti-Soviet rebellion in the novella. A study of published studies and archival data has shown that literary heroes have real prototypes, and their events are correct and can serve in the study of the state of the population in the specified period of time.
