Resumen

The purpose of the article is to study the originality of the genre poetics in V.A. Nikiforov-Volgin’s story "The Road Staff" in the context of the prose of first-wave Russian diaspora – the works by I.A. Bunin ("Iz zapisok neizvestnogo" ["From the Notes of the Unknown"]) and I.S. Shmelev (short story "Blazhennye" ["The Blessed"]). The analysis convincingly shows that these works are an example of genre synthesis, which is dominated by features of the ancient Russian genres of "khozhenie" ["journey"], hagiography, and sermon. The authors emphasize the originality of the concept of "The Road Staff" in the context of Russian diaspora literature, demonstrating the synthesis of genre under the influence of ancient Russian genres and biblical, saintly reminiscences and allusions.
