RELIGIOUS AND COSMIC: COMPONENTS OF THE SACRED CODE OF CULTURE IN RUSSIAN AND KYRGYZ LANGUAGES

In this article, the authors addresses the topic of spiritual shrines of the Kyrgyz and Russian peoples. Religion has always been a deeply intimate part of people's lives. The cosmos, as an immense and inexplicable phenomenon, has been the source of faith. In this regard, the authors identify religious and cosmic codes of culture as components of the sacred code, using the example of the two peoples. The topic of religion always remains relevant in people's lives, which is why the study of this topic at the intersection of the interaction of two cultures always attracts the interest of scholars from various fields. The manifestation of the religious code at the linguistic level is vividly observed: expressions like 'Glory to God,' 'like God's bosom' in Russian, and 'Allaga shükür,' 'Allanyn buyrugu menen,' etc., in Kyrgyz are found in modern society. The authors highlight the cosmic code because representatives of the two peoples use phraseological units with cosmic components in their speech: 'star sickness,' 'fell from the sky,' 'like Heaven and Earth,' 'fell from the Moon,' etc., as well as in Kyrgyz: 'asmandan tüşköndöy,' 'jıldız kuchaktap,' and others. Using comparative and descriptive methods, the authors were able to demonstrate the manifestations of these codes at the level of culture, religion, and language. The authors conclude that these codes are present in the modern life of the Kyrgyz and Russian peoples, serving as components of the sacred code. Each of them vividly expresses national mentality and also undergoes transformation in a rapidly changing world.
