The image of Motherland in the civil lyrics by Aleksandr Pavlovich

The paper discusses the linguocultural interpretation of the Rusinian picture of the world Vasily Petrovaj's Rusins (1994). The authors attempt to identify the life-meaning dominant of the people's spiritual life in the picture of the Rusinian world created by the writer. The heroes of the novel demonstrate a religious perception of the world; however, their religiosity is not limited to just going to church, but permeates all their ethnocultural consciousness. The concept “Faith” is represented in their lexicon by numerous lexical and paremiic representatives. The linguoculturological analysis of the novel allows: a) interpreting the originality of Rusinian collegiality; b) decoding the main “mythoritual” traditions of Rusins; c) analyzing folk poetry semiotics, ritual motifs, and other elements of Rusinian world poetisation to identify and comprehend a distinctive ethnocultural code that is found, although sometimes implicitly, in popular superstitions and pesant family structure.
