It’s a Family Affair-We’ll Settle It Ourselves (Svoi lyudi – sotchtemsya Свои люди – сочтемся) is a comedy by Alexander Ostrovsky. It was his first major work written in 1849 and published in the No.6 (March book 2) 1850 Moskvityanin issue. It was immensely successful and was promptly banned. The play was staged for the first time on 9 December 1860 ten years after its publication. For some time the play has also been referred to as The Bankrupt (its original title).
