The article is devoted to the study of the structure and content of the lexcal-thematic group “Social and political system” in the novel. The units of this group, words, terminological phrases are considered as a part of subgroups united by narrower subjects (names of titles of power, names of ranks, names of estates, names of units of political-territorial division, etc.). The article provides the analysis of the semantics of the linguistic units used by A. Veltman, taking into account the context and the author’s notes to the novel. By using data from Russian historical and explanatory dictionaries, it is possible to show that the majority of units in the considered lexical-thematic group were taken by the writer from ancient Russian texts, however, some words are used in a peculiar way, because their meanings in the novel do not coincide with those meanings, recorded in the dictionaries.
Key words: Veltman, “Koshchei the Immortal”, stylization of the Old Russian language, lexical-thematic group, Russian language of the 19th century, language of the historical novel
