The focus of this article is the novel by Wsevolod Solovyov (1849-1903) “The Bride from Kasimov”, which is not well-known. Some documentary sources have been found, which served as the basis for formation of the plot of the work. The author notes that all the events in the novel have a real basis, and the writer practically does not resort to artistic fiction. The conclusion of the article is that by using strictly documentary material Wsevolod Solovyov created a literary work, which expresses eternal issues of mankind.
