The article gives an overview of the main trends in the development and study of Russian crime literature of the recent period. We argue that it is necessary to adopt a genre approach in the study of its poetics / approach to study its poetics. We seek parallels with genre traditions of world crime literature and its socialist realistic variant. We discuss the police novel, focused primarily on ethical issues, continued by A. Marinina. However, in general, this genre is overshadowed now by an action detective. Another leading criminal genre, “investigation of the victim,” is actually replaced by another model, where the plot is determined by the opposition between the individual and the state (or mafia) system. The undoubtably leading role of the “adventurous investigation” (by N. Kirilenko’s term) is realized in the works of B. Akunin, D. Dontsova, etc. We believe that its rational game nature is more convenient in the postmodern era.
