Abstract
The article considers the reference to a real historical event in the text of a fantastic work – Stanislav Lem’s short story “Ananke” from the series “Stories about the pilot Pirx”. Based on such indication, the article attempts to understand the role of truth in fiction, the correlation degree for the “truthful” and “fantastic” in literature. As a result, it turns out that connecting the fact of reality to the world of fictional fiction in the science fiction allows one to see certain meanings of the author’s utterance, meanings that are just formed in the synthesis of the “fantastic” and “true”. And it is the science fiction that turns out to be the most appropriate type of literature for that kind of the meaning creation.
