This article is aimed at the analysis of the images of consciousness that the representatives of the Kazakh and Russian nations possess.The analysis has been carried on the man-horse paradigm.It has been discovered that the ability to associatively connect the objects and phenomena of the world around bring together the Kazakh and Russian writers as well as does the ability to see common features of different objects.At the same time in the Russian literature sometimes a person is identified with a horse, which does physical work, and characterizes people exhausted by hard work which is not typical for the Kazakhs.But the Russians do not compare their child with a foal whereas for the Kazakhs it is the kindest term of endearment.It is supposed that interesting image paradigms with "horse" element can also be discovered in the English language.
