The article deals with the main texts of Bunin’s early prose in terms of genre classification and genre genesis. The author of the article singles out initial prose genres with which the young Bunin works and raises the question of the genesis of Bunin’s prose. The author believes that the newspaper work and the periodicals style influence early Bunin’s texts. The plots of Bunin’s early prose also use essay constructions. The special investigation helped to build a typology of plots in Bunin’s early prose. Since the mid-1890s, Bunin’s prose becomes more complicated: the writer is looking for ways to overcome the limitations of the essay forms. In the stories Uchitel’ (Teacher) and Na dache (At the Dacha), the essay poetics is complicated by genre scenes, the abundance of characters and their detailed portrayal, and the strengthening of the novelistic elements. The author considers the story Bez rodu-plemeni (Rootless) to be transitional to the new principles of poetics: it uses a number of new techniques developed by Bunin in his further work
