Abstract. The article discusses the symbolism of the Orthodox icon in the context of M. Ye. Saltykov-Shchedrin’s novel "The Golovlyov Family" and its function for the characterization and interpretation of the images of the main characters of the work. According to the research the author concludes that the excessive financial attitude of the character to the Holy Image enables to determine the degree of its spiritual and moral alienation from the true Orthodox values: Love, Forgiveness, Compassion and Repentance.
