The paper considers the initial stage of the creative biography of the writer A. D. Znamensky, associated with his stay in the Komi ASSR. It is noted that during his stay A. D. Znamensky wrote his first novel “The Inexhaustible Layer”, the first part of which he later reworked into the novel “Ivan-Tea”. It is shown how, for the first time in the open press, the real events related to the landing of enemy saboteurs in the Komi ASSR in June 1943 are reflected in the novel in artistic form.
