Annotation: Using the example of Lesya Ukrainka's dramatic poem "Kaminnyi рospodar" by Yuriy Boyko-Blokhyn, the work demonstrates how the study of the ideological contexts of the work of one or another author allows art to reveal the influence of political realities. It has been declared how Lesya Ukrainka's drama becomes an interesting example of a peculiar artistic and political symbiosis. At the same time, it is shown how such studies of the literary text provide an opportunity to see the contextual manifestations of the creativity of the literary researcher himself, to sharpen the priorities of his scientific search.
