The paper analyses consequences of «Narrative turn» occurred in humanities and social sciences, as well as the meaning of narrative concept in designing of social reality, particularly historical reality. Analyzing the narratology works, the author considers main narrative presumptions and defines adequacy of its application to historical science. He disclosed positive moments of «Narrative turn» in historical science connected with «liveliness» of history through address to direct participants of events and legitimacy recognition of various perspectives in historical vision; but also he opened negative prospects of events simulation through «re-composition» of event stories, induction of historical anomy as poly-axiological relation to historical events. As a result the author comes to conclusion that narrative reading of historical events promotes discredit of history as the science, loss of its referential obligations in relation to the present and the future.
