Annotation:
The article deals with the trend of serious attitude of Buryat local publishing hous- es and popular fiction magazine ―Baikal‖ to "frivolous" genres, which critics con- sider low and reckon in so-called mass literature. We characterizes this trend on the example of short stories collection ―New prose‖ (2015) and criminal novels by Petr Manannikov (2009–2015). These stories and novels are ranked to belles- lettres and analyzed from the standpoint of its middle position between "high" and "mass culture" strata of contemporary literature. Strong hierarchy position of such fiction is determined by success among readers, and also reputation in literary crit- icism, publishing and magazine circles. We consider that humanistic and moral pa- thos of this type of literature is the main reason for its popularity.
Keywords:
