Linguocultural aspect in the methodology of teaching Russian as a foreign language: specifics of Russian everyday life as a reflection of cultural codes (on the example

the present article is written in the context of those scientific paradigms that interpret the linguocultural potential of a word. The studied words and expressions are realised in the authentic text, thanks to which the possibility of studying the traditions, interests and manners of the people in whose language the work is written is discovered. The literary aspect of the content is not taken into account. Such an approach is relevant for an in-depth study of language, understanding it as an iconic part of the entire cultural space of a nation. The main goal of the work is to form a strategy that allows introducing the author's text into the practice of teaching Russian as a foreign language. The material for the study is A.P. Chekhov's story ‘At the Leader's House’, which tells how a widow organises a non-alcoholic funeral service for her husband who abused alcohol. The following positions should be attributed to the basic tasks: selection of words, word combinations endowed with national-cultural semantics; commenting on culturally marked units to identify essential forms of folk identity, denoting the features of speech etiquette, non-verbal communication, behavioural algorithms; expanding the semantic boundaries of an individual work. Successful mastering of the specified vocabulary will allow not only to work productively in the future with artistic texts, but also to form an idea of the Russian linguistic picture of the world, which will provide a soft assimilation of a foreigner in the cultural space for effective communication.
