The article is devoted to two modern visual interpretations of A.S. Pushkin's novel “Eugene Onegin”, genre-designated as a graphic novel and a graphic guide. The graphic novel “Eugene Onegin” uses the original lines, but with a significant reduction; nevertheless, the main plot lines are preserved, although the traditional Onegin stanza is not always there. At the same time, what, in fact, makes the novel an “encyclopedia of Russian life” is practically absent in the graphic novel. But in general, the graphic novel, pursuing an entertaining rather than a didactic goal, copes with the task of arousing interest in Onegin in the reader, with clip thinking and focusing on visual information, mainly. Another hybrid genre is designated as a graphic guide and is focused more on helping students study the classics. Unlike the graphic novel, this graphic guide to Pushkin's novel reveals and visualizes the features of noble culture and other details for the reader that give the novel an encyclopedic character.
