Abstract
the purpose of the study is to determine the role of a translator as a cultural mediator in the process of realia's translation. This concept of a translator was considered at the end of the 20th century, when there was a need to rethink the role of culture in the translation process, including the translation of cultural contexts and realias. The importance of culture in the translation can be seen in the material of the Persian and Russian languages, systematized according to the classification of realias by E. Nida. The scientific novelty of the work lies in considering a translator as a cultural mediator from the point of view of the linguistic relativity hypothesis, known as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. The result of the study was the definition of the role of a translator as a cultural mediator and the identification of those skills that a translator needs in order to effectively ensure intercultural interaction.
