Abstracts:
The article is devoted to the problem of preserving culture-specific vocabulary literary translation from Russian into English in fiction works. It is obvious, that such vocabulary is first of all represented by words with no direct equivalents in other languages and cultures, namely, culture-specific elements of the culture of a certain people, within its linguistic view of the world, which is formed on the basis of their lifestyle and way of thinking. Writers often resort to the use of culture-specific words to create a certain image of heroes and to describe the historical and cultural background of the events in the literary work. So, an adequate communication of these elements in literary translation becomes an important aspect of preserving the cultural identity of an author’s work. The main problem is to find adequate means and strategies for translating culture-bound vocabulary with the consideration of its functioning in the structure of a literary work. The material for the analysis was taken from the novel Zuleikha by Guzel Yakhina and its translation into English by Lisa Hayden. The novel under study can be referred to historical prose, since it describes objective laws of social life, unique image of people of the presented historical period, where culture-bound elements acquire specific contextual significance.
