Rendering lexical units with cultural reference plays an important role in retaining cultural colouring of the original literary work in translation, thus making cross-cultural communication through translating fiction possible in the contemporary global environment. Adequate means of rendering realias as culturally marked lexical units are in the focus of attention in the article. The term “realia” is introduced, a categorization system for realias is presented, means of rendering Belarusian realias in the narrative “Obelisk” by Vasil Bykov are analyzed, and correlation between the nature of realia and the means of rendering it in the Russian language is proved. Continuous sampling method, statistical, parametric, as well as descriptive-comparative and the method of contextual analysis were used to achieve the research goals.Downloads
