Chukueva Zarema Nazhmutdinovna

in this article questions of the genre classification of the documentary principle in artistic prose are considered. Essay is the most active documentary and artistic category. This kind of prose of the Soviet era was exactly the fusion of documentary and artistic fiction and journalism. The strength and importance of journalism increased significantly during the war. This tendency allows us to say that confession is another important type of documentary-artistic types of narration. And, at the same time, the third type of documentary and fiction prose, which we designate as an independent branch is an essay. It is regarded as an animated-mental form of the narrative as well as other texts of the journalistic style (sketches, portraits, compositions, etc.).

Keywords:genre classification, confession, essay, portrait, sketches, memoir prose.
