Abstract
The paper investigates the Old Russian history plots as the basis for a lot of multigenre texts
of the Russian literature (period of the Romanticism): the «Arzamas» experiences in the historical
poem and «Ivan Gudoshnik’s Tales» by N. A. Polevoy. The texts studies let us conclude, that the
Russian cultural mind tends to mythologize the national history represented via the plots which
involve historical facts accreted with legends.
