Abstract. The article is the first in the Russian literary criticism to treat Xenophon of Athens’s "Hellenica" as one of the main sources for V. T. Shchukin’s novel "Red Cloaks". It is revealed that the modern writer was guided by the work of the ancient author giving an account of the major events of the Greek history from 379 to 362 BC, addressing battle scenes, political events and historical characters. The conclusion is made that Xenophon, being Sparta’s supporter, had described historical events in accordance with his convictions, whereas V. T. Shchukin, directed by the facts the ancient author had related, sought to depict Sparta’s loss of power in Ancient Greece.
