Summary/Abstract: Childhood, childishness, adulthood – these categories are changing during crises, acute social change, and especially during the war. The works of writers of two different nations, about two different wars, are however united by one common feature: in the centre of these works is the fate of a child who must live / survive / grow up during the war. Interpretation of a child’s psychology of influence of social events on the fate of a small person, which values help to survive and which are levelled is considered in the novels Serhii Zhadan’s "Boarding School" and Marcus Zuzak’s "The Book Thief". An attempt to combine works about the times of the middle of the XX and the beginning of the XXI centuries makes possible to compare and find common features in multinational literatures in depicting childhood in times of crisis.
