Literature is a science that reflects a person and the events around him with a fictional reality, as well as a phenomenon that interacts with other disciplines, especially the science of history, and is a mirror taken from the perspective of fiction to the social facts leading to history. One of the most striking examples of this interaction is the Crimean Russian writer Shamil (Seitovich) Aladin's autobiographical work I am your Tsar and God (Я - ваш царь и бог), which written by the author in 1994. In this study the Crimean exile of 1944, which took place after the Second World War and left deep traces in the history of the Soviet Union, the effects of which lasted for many years, and the socio-cultural and ideological panorama of the period will be examined in the context of the relationship between literature and history. The geopolitical position of the region, which made Crimea the centre of attention of other nations for centuries and constituted the main reason for the exile, its annexation by Tsarist Russia in 1783, the practices such as "oppression, marginalisation, imprisonment and exile" applied to the people in the period from the October Revolution of 1917 until the dissolution of the Soviet Union (1991) will be mentioned. In the light of this historical information, it is expected to reveal the points where the fictional reality reflected in the work coincides with historical facts.
