The article presents a comparative analysis of the images of the enemy in two works of literature dedicated to the Crimean war. In the short story "Kuzma, a Soldier" by I. S. Shmelev (1915) Russian and British soldiers, as military opponents, however, enter into a cordial relationship. In the novel "Master Georgie" (1998) by B. Bainbridge the British and Russians appear as mirror images of each other, but are doomed to mutual destruction.
