She is playing a role of protagonist and cooperator of Russian revolutionist - Walentyn, and - on the other hand - she is an important factor, which is inspired main Hero to thinking about the human fate in history and the meaning of revolutionary activity. In this way the Reader receives a double imagine of Woman, who are representing another nationality. This double imagine is a consequence of Wanda’s character creation in the narrative strate by the main Hero - another fictional character, which is also an alter ego of the Writer, and - in the same time - by the Writer himself, who decided to set this story in the Belarussian reality from First World War and „bolshevik resolution’s” period, which are familiar to an author from his own experience. The phenomenon of different nationality of the main Heros, and than - the problem of culture dialogue, qualicifying this story to the wide and still popular stream of describing the imagine of a „Stranger” in the literature. This analysis proposes an interpretation of main female character’s plot on the basis of the Emanuel Levinas’ concept of recognizing Other (a part of the philosophy of dialogue, which is characteristic stream for the first half of 20 Century), enriched by the some features of well-known sociological categories like e.g. „familiar Stranger” or „a Stranger at the familiar place”.
