Abstract: It is noted in the article that Ivan Aksakov would continue the line of his Slavophile predecessors - Ivan Kireyevsky's, Aleksey Khomyakov's, Konstantin Aksakov's, Yuri Samarin's - literary criticism development and he would significantly change the principles and approaches to analysis of Russian literature. He was less categorical in terms of requirements for Russian writers' allegiance to Orthodox foundations; this is the writer 's interest in the Russian people, their traditions, in Russian history which is of greatest importance in his opinion. The author of the article states that Ivan Aksakov more objectively, compared to his Slavophile predecessors, assessed the creative work of Alexander Pushkin, Nikolai Gogol, Fyodor Tyutchev. In his critical assessments, Ivan Aksakov is partly closer to supporters of national loyalist criticism.
