This article examines the transformation of the novella The Star of the Morning Dawn into the novel Khanty, or the Star of the Morning Dawn by the Russian-speaking Khanty writer E. D. Aypin, and it identifies the mechanisms of genre transition in the mind of a traditionalist prose writer. The Khanty author chooses this novella for transformation, since the plot of the journey — around which the novella is built — is one of the main models for constructing a novel within traditionalist poetics. Aypin branches the chronotope of the novella’s main storyline using the main character meetings with his relatives and acquaintances, his memories of his past and his family’s past, as well as appeals to the future. The novelist uses the cumulative principle of plotting parts to connect different temporal events in the ramifications of the novel”s main storyline. The joints of these events are held together by certain “transition points” (fixing attention on an object, geographical location, footprints, animals, a person, and their appearance). Aypin expands the chronotope by introducing into the text folklore discourse, which scales the space in a vertical plane and gives time the properties of static, cyclicity. Fixing geographical locations during the main character’s trip in the novel enlarges the boundaries of space. This genre transformation clarifies the specifics of the novel genre construction in E. D. Aypin’s prose.Keywords:
