The article is devoted to the peculiarities of the embodiment of the world picture in Russian translations of zhyrau poetry (poets of the Middle Ages) and the role of cultural and functional dominants in them. Thus, the research subject of the world picture is examined from the perspectives of reflection (G. Bogin) and pan-determinism (C. Todorov). This approach facilitates the establishment of a connection between the cultural elements of the source text, the translation strategy employed, and the methods used to convey them in the translated text. The description of cultural units as a way of creating a national picture of the world allows us to study the mechanism of the impact of the poet’s spoken word on the addressee. The aim of the work is to consider culturonyms as units of artistic translation of Kaztugan Zhyrau and Dospambet Zhyrau poetry and their role in the embodiment of reflexion and pan-determinism. The work also involved considering the rhetorical statuses and modalities of Zhyrau’s statements, establishing connections between them, analyzing the genre synthesis (elements of anacreontic with military and lyrical-romantic poetics), and studying the functions of artistic tropes. To achieve the goal, non-rhetorical (discourse) and hermeneutic approaches were utilized, along with the method of comparative analysis. These approaches and methods in the study of cultural units of translation in Zhyrau poetry, in the aspect of reflection and pan-determinism, allow us to see the unity of Kazakh culture as a way of creating a worldview. The article presents a classification of rhetorical modalities of Zhyrau’s statements, functions of lyrical narrative, and symbol types. The text describes the structure of symbolism as a correlation between the signified and signifier, expressed and implied, and types of associative connections, as well as poetic syntax. It also substantiates the main regularities in the complexity of translating cultural units, images of time and space in the national picture of the world.
