This article presents a comparative analytical study of the representation of the Second World War in the novels “Hot snow” by the Russian writer Yury Bondarev and “Years in overcoats” by the Uzbek author Shukhrat. The research examines both the national and universal dimensions of wartime experience, foregrounding the stylistic and ideological distinctions between the two texts as well as their reflection of historical and cultural realities. Drawing upon the perspectives of I.Dustova, O.Gradinaru, and other scholars, the study undertakes a thorough exploration of the authors’ narrative techniques, systems of characterization, poetic devices, and ideological frameworks. The analysis provides a comprehensive comparison of narrative structures, character systems, and the mechanisms through which each novel articulates its vision of the war.
