Summary/Abstract: The paper is devoted to the problem of family in M.Yu. Lermontov’s poem “The Song about Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich, the Young Oprichnik, and the Daring Merchant Kalashnikov”. The most authoritative scientific concepts are considered. The moral and ethical content of the work is evaluated. The figurative and narrative features of the poem are explored in relation to their conformity or discrepancy with those of the Old Russian literature. The subjects of comparative analysis are literary works representing the Old Russian literature (“The Tale of Igor’s Campaign” and “The Tale of Peter and Fevronia of Murom”) and A.S. Pushkin’s novel “The Captain’s Daughter”. It is concluded that the realities of the 14th century depicted in the poem serve mainly as a historical background expressing the worldview, which was alien to the culture of the Ancient Rus’.
