Abstract: Group of authors consists of teachers from Lomonosov Moscow State University and researchers from A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature - jointly created a new type of research in the form of a manual on Old Russian literature. This book is not a university textbook with a set of information necessary for students to answer examinations and tests, although the proposed book can be very useful for such a pragmatic goal. This is an analytical study containing a detailed analysis of old Russian literary texts and, above all, answering the question of why the old Russian texts were written, what was their meaning. The main thing in this study is to substantiate the characteristics of old Russian works in a relatively accessible form, to reveal a system of evidence leading to one or another conclusion, and not categorically report these conclusions in a ready-made form. Scientific thinking with evidentiary cause-and-effect relationships is developed with great difficulty, and in this case the published research may prove useful.
