The article is devoted to researching of genre nature of I.S. Shmelyov’s autobiographic essays «Leto Gospodne» and «Bogomolye». The main thing is a «soulbuilding» of young man. So one can define the genre as «psychological novel» or «psychological short novel». And also they are «pedagogical novels»: the «ideal tutor», Gorkin, uses the pedagogics of love and virtue founded on Christian doctrines.
