There are numerous occurrences of conflict within the story. The first is person vs. person, where the Dragon kidnaps Vladimir's daughter.
Another person vs. person conflict comes when Kyrilo refuses Vladimir's plea to fight the dragon. A third person vs. person conflict comes when the dragon fights Kyrilo.

Prince Vladimir is of the Father/Creator archetype. He is the ruler of his Slavic kingdom and he aims to make his domain the best it can be and protect its citizens.

The dragon is of the Destroyer archetype. Throughout the story, the dragon attacks cities and towns with specific purpose other than to spread chaos. He is also arrogant, a trait which eventually leads to his downfall.

Kyrilo is of the Seeker archetype. He does not actively seek conflict, and in fact refuses his "Call to Adventure". In the end, he refuses the king's offer of gold and a beautiful wife because his motivation was the sight of crying children.

The princess is of the innocent archetype. In the text, she does nothing to provoke the dragon and gets kidnapped anyways, and seeks to escape her imprisonment inside his lair.

Call to Adventure
The dragon kidnaps the princess, and she discovers that only Kyrilo can slay him, prompting Prince Vladimir to fetch him.
Refusal of the Call
Kyrilo refuses to fight the dragon, citing his ordinariness, but changes his mind after seeing a group of children crying for the princess.
Tests and Trials
Kyrilo gains strength and begins his fight against the dragon. He gains the upper hand.
Supreme Ordeal
With the dragon begging for mercy, Kyrilo decides to dispose of him forever by wearing him out and trapping him at the bottom of the ocean.
Return
Kyrilo returns to the king, princess in tow.
Reward
Kyrilo refuses a traditional reward, saying that his actions were motivated by compassion for the children and returns to his ordinary life.

The story contains two themes. The first is to not underestimate yourself. This is displayed by Kyrilo not believing that he was capable of great things, as he was an ordinary hide tanner. However, in the end he prevailed over the dragon and saved the day. The second theme is that not all good deeds should be motivated by reward. This is shown when Kyrilo refusing a standard reward at the end of the story, saying that he did what he did to please the children.
