Summary/Abstract: This article is devoted to “Zalataya zhrytsa Asvynov”, the novel written by Olga Ipatova. Strategies of reconstructing the past used by the Belarusian novelist as well as the poetics and aesthetics of her work are in the focus of attention. History in the novel is fragmentary. It is interpreted through the prism of consciously activated mythological mechanisms. Although their significance is fixed in collective consciousness, they need to be updated and interpreted anew.
