Summary/Abstract: Conflicting consciousness is one of the features of social psychology in transitional periods. Although it appeared in different forms in artistic creation it had one aim – to show the crisis of contemporaries’ worldview. In the article development of conflicting consciousness in Maxim Gorecky’s “Two souls” is analyzed. It is emphasized that the author managed to reveal a variety of conflicts during the civil war, to describe the complexity of national self-identification, dialectics of inner state of the representatives of various social groups, to tell the bitter truth about inhumane phenomena in politics, behaviour and worldview.
