Summary/Abstract: The relevance of this study is determined by the fact that documentary elements have become a sign of modern culture, both elite and mass. The subject under consideration is the genre of epistolary novel, which has intensely developed recently in modern literature. The purpose of the study is to identify the forms of documentary elements, as well as the nature of treatment of the document in the works by contemporary Russian authors. The paper examines the novels characterized by different aesthetic and genre specifics (“The Light and the Dark” by M. Shishkin, “Return to Egypt” by V. Sharov, and “Jacob’s Ladder” by L. Ulitskaya), which have become the noticeable phenomena in the Russian literature of the 2010s. The novelty of the research is defined by the literary material and the chosen aspect of study.
