This article discusses the formal genre features of the text of the story, which has a complex title, in which it is defined as a miracle (a genre of hagiography), and as a poem (lyrico-epic, mostly poetic). The genre features indicated in the title “The Miracle of Buyanikha (the poem)” are expectation reference points. Expectation is understood as the reader’s readiness to perceive the text according to the formal content program, which is set by the writer. When analysing the text, formal signs that justify the reader's expectations of the poem have been revealed. These, of course, are the traditionally distinguished features of the poem: a reference to the content of the poem at its beginning, the content is grouped around one major event, diversified by episodes associated with this main event, the poem begins with dynamically introducing the reader in medias res, in the poem the events that happened before the “middle of the thing" are learned from the stories on behalf of the characters. However, the main formal feature that corresponds to the expectation reference points is the presence of figures based on repetitions. The most frequent and most significant figure that confirms the genre of the poem is accumulation. In addition to the traditionally distinguished functions of accumulation: to characterize a complex object in a multifaceted way and to strengthen the emotional and evaluative component of the utterance, the function of providing rhythm as a typological feature of the poem has been established. The description of the signs confirming the reader's expectations of the poem is made with the expectation of the subsequent description of another “The Miracle of ...” expectation reference point in the title.
