The analysis of the myths’ interpretation (eschatological myth, myth of the cultural hero) is carried out in the novels “The Underdogs” by M. Asuela and “The Iron Stream” by A. Serafimovich. It is proved that mythological consciousness forms models of behavior that are relevant for particular historical time.
