The article examines the distinctive features of Robert Minnullin’s translation practice within the context of children’s literature. This study analyses the methods employed by the poet to convey the cultural and ethnic aspects of the original works in translations. The study demonstrates how R. Minnullin strikes a balance between the precision of the translation and the necessity of adapting the text for a young audience, taking into account their cognitive and emotional characteristics. The article highlights the manner in which the translator incorporates elements of national identity and cultural heritage into the adapted texts, thereby fostering respect for multiculturalism among children. Furthermore, the article highlights the significance of R. Minnullin in fostering a positive perception of other cultures through children’s literature. This contributes to the strengthening of intercultural ties and understanding. We highlight that the poet translates works from a multitude of languages, including Russian, Karakalpak, Turkmen, Kazakh, Udmurt, Mari, Chuvash, Georgian, Armenian and Lithuanian. The article considers specific examples of translated works that demonstrate successful strategies of ethno-cultural adaptation, and their impact on the development of reading literacy and creative thinking in children. Thus, the article not only highlights Robert Minnullin’s contribution to the field of children’s translation, but also emphasises the importance of his work for the formation of cultural competence in the younger generation.
