The article analyzes the topos ofWarsaw in the historical novel Six Days, or the Crown of the Ostrozky House by modern Ukrainian writer Petro Kralyuk. The capital of Poland is depicted from the point of view of the main character of the work – Prince Vasyl-Konstantin Ostrozky. It is established that from the 16th century Warsaw was one of the key cities of the newly created state – the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Ostrozky was forced to visit it quite often. It was found that the above-mentioned city was perceived negatively for Vasyl-Konstantin. This fact is explained by the numerous personal and national losses that, in one way or another, affected Warsaw. The author’s means of tracing the image of the Polish capital (the status of the city, natural resources, colors, landscape, its connection with historical events and figures) are traced. It is emphasized that one of the sections of P. Kralyuk’s work has an eloquent title Black color. Warsaw. Due to paratextuality, the opposition of this part of the Six Days to other chapters of the novel (Color of Gray. Kyiv, Color of Yellow. Derman) is emphasized.
