Summary/Abstract: N. S. Leskov’s work “Soborjane” (Cathedral Folk) is examined in the context of old Russian traditions. A wide range of artistic form rarities is being researched: the genre, the style, the plurality of narrative instances, specificity of the artistic method and the definition of the genre – a novel chronicle. Each genre structure in the work has its own stylistic specialties, the specific connection between the artistic form and the content. The genre construction of the chronicle presents the leading tendency connecting all the parts of the novel into one unit.
