The Crimean War of 1853–1856 became a real challenge for Russian society and was reflected in the culture and art of&#x0D;that time, including drama. Already during the war, plays dedicated to this historical event were being created and staged in&#x0D;theatres. This article analyses four plays – “For the Faith, the Tsar and the Fatherland” by Pyotr Grigor’yev, “The Veteran and&#x0D;the Recruit” by Aleksey Pisemsky, “The Feat of the Mother” by Orest Miller, “The Russians in 1854” by Adelaida Tal’tseva.&#x0D;The general ideological message of those dramatic works included patriotism, glorification of the greatness of the Fatherland&#x0D;and the strength of the Russian people, the Orthodox faith, in connection with which the plays created the image of a&#x0D;Russian soldier for whom participation in the war is a matter of honour and faith. The study establishes the correspondence&#x0D;of dramatic works of the period of the Crimean War of 1853–1856 to the requirements of the time, their close connection&#x0D;with the historical context of the era, as well as an orientation towards ease of perception by the audience. The author of&#x0D;the article defines the general features of patriotic plays of the Crimean War period at the plot and ideological level.
