Abstract: The relevance of the article is due to the lack of research in the field of genre analysis of the text in the context of structure and composition in the Crimean Tatar literature in general and on the example of the work of Sh. Selim "Shamil Alyadin, about charyks and a penknife" in particular. The subject of the study is a genre analysis of the text in the context of structure and composition on the example of the work under study. The purpose of this article is not an attempt to define any particular genre or its features in a work, which in this case is practically impossible, but an analysis of the relations of various literary and journalistic genres in the context of the structure and composition of the text under study.

The main conclusions of the study are that in the work under study there is an "ambivalent" hybrid genre form of a deeply emotional diary of memories (essay) with a pronounced expression and literary-critical essay (article), with a clear logical methodology. Hidden genre forms of monologue, correspondence dialogue or discussion also manifest themselves in the text. The author enters, if not into a direct, then into a reflexive dialogue with his characters and the reader. The synthesis and interaction of different genre forms forms the originality of the work, focusing the reader's attention on the ethics of literary craft. If we talk about the general unifying genre of the work, then this is spiritual and intellectual prose.
Thus, the analysis of the structural and compositional features of the work allowed us to identify important, although not absolute criteria for determining and interconnecting adjacent genres, which in turn made it possible to identify the main and auxiliary genre forms of the text under study.
