The article considers the key genre trends in the lyrics of A. Akhmatova. The term «dominant installation of the author» (the term of L. Kighney) is used as the main genre-make criterion. The introspective, formally-canonical, functional installations are defined and analysed. The conclusion of the article is that the author's installations, inspired by the requests of time and tradition, and may be embodied in an individual poetic work in the syncretic, differently interpreted genre structures.
