The fate of the Belarusians in the post-war decades became the subject of artistic reflection in the historical prose by Zinaida Dudyuk. Illustrating the history of Belarus in the 20th century, the author skillfully reveals the national and cultural information of the poetonymicon. The purpose of this work is to reveal the figurative and pictorial role of anthroponyms that reflect the mentality of the people, the assessments of human nature, actions, and behaviour formed in society. The relevance of the study is determined by the need to study the literary onomasticon in the context of a new linguistic paradigm, the focus of which is the reflection of national culture in linguistic signs.
