Abstract

The article examines the features of the war narratives, the authors of which are both the Western European intellectuals and the members of the Russian intelligentsia. The research of war narratives has revealed the ambivalence in understanding and assessing of the war events by intellectuals (special attention is paid to the events of the First World War); the ambiguity in the definition of the concepts victory, defeat, combatant, enemy, heroism is shown. The reasons for the semantic discrepancies between the war narratives, created by intellectuals, and the official power discourse are explicated.
