The study focuses on the identifying the western genre invariants and revealing their functions in the structure of the socialist realist narratives. The author uses Vladimír Mináč´s novel Modré vlny (Blue Waves, 1951) and Dominik Tatarka´s Prvý a druhý úder (The First and the Second Blow, 1950) to demonstrate that the western invariant applied in both of the novels is only a „shell“, where the archetypical core of these socialist realist novels is set: the transformation of Chaos into Cosmos being the cosmization of new territories. This motif is the basis of human experience with winning new space and colonizing it. It finds expression in the idyllic-utopian socialist novel. Alongside the invariants of myth and utopia, there are updated genre invariants of exemplum and legend as a narration about exemplary and famous deeds. The receptive meaning (and function) of socialist realist stories is then structured by the interference of author-reception genre conventions (narrative strategies), which are closely linked to folk, originally religious and mythical concepts of the world ontology. It makes it easier to communicate the utilitarian core of the stories.
