* DatedHistory: Yarilo is portrayed as an Old Slavic solar deity. In the 19th century, there was a hypothesis he was one, but, after some discussion in thte academic circles, it has been disproved. In ''Slavic Antiquities'', the most comprehensive academic publication on Slavic ethnology to date (published in 1995--2012), Yarilo is unambiguously stated to being the AnthropomorphicPersonification of a summer festival, but not a deity, let alone one central to the pantheon.

* DawsonCasting: The Snow Maiden is fifteen. Obviously, she is never played by an actress of that age (except in high-school adaptations and suchlike where [[InNameOnly the plot is usually watered down anyway]]), especially in the opera where her role is a pretty demanding one for a coloratura soprano.

* FollowTheLeader: Defied by the 1968 movie. While Rimsky-Korsakov's opera and, to a lesser extent, Tchaikovsky's incidental music are considered the defining musical versions of the story and even the productions of the play generally use one of the other, the 1968 film uses neither and contains entirely original music. Some reviewers have noted that the composer, it seems, purposefully strove for a mood completely opposite to that of Rimsky-Korsakov.

* CreatorsOddball: Ostrovsky was already an established author of firmly realistic satirical plays, and then suddenly out came a strange symbolic fantasy. Needless to say, it was received very coldly. He only wrote one other fantasy play years later, but that one is little-known now.
