Summary/Abstract: This article uses the example of the novel Zuleikha opens her eyes by Guzel Yakhina to identify some features of the modern novel: genre syncretism, manifested in the hybridisation of genre formulas. The subject of the study is the model of a novel in which, within the framework of a single work, genre formulas and features of various traits of the novel are merged and transformed. The novel’s genre syncretism manifests itself in the use of multi-level conflict, which contributes to the expansion of the boundaries of the narrative.
