metadata.value: The article is devoted to the problems of literary translation transmission of cultural information and
  memory of a “strong” text, which is the repository and effective generator of aesthetic senses. Within
  the framework of the “cultural” trend in translation studies the cultural information and memory are
  regular translation objects and units. The history of literary translation demonstrates that a “strong”
  original text constantly creates numerous foreign language and other-systematic (intersemiotic) secondary
  texts, forming a large center of translation attraction. From the standpoint of linguacultural
  area “strong” texts are located in textual and cultural grid nodes, providing stability and retentive
  property of cultures, as well as their regular participation in inter-cultural interaction and interchange.
  Relatively recently, the paradigm of linguacultural adaptation strategies of literary texts, formed with
  the strategies of foregnization and domestication, was expanded with the strategy of estrangement. The concept of estrangement was first identified and described as a special artistic technique that allows
  to transform the perception of the ordinary phenomenon in the strange one, to concentrate the
  reader’s attention on the phenomenon nominated in the text without its direct description. Being first
  formulated in the area of Russian formalism school, the technique of estrangement was mainly described
  on the material of the “strong” texts of Russian literature and culture. Later estrangement was
  considered in the theory of art not only as an artistic technique, but also as the universal law of art. The
  moat evident result of the law use and the widespread application of the technique of estrangement is
  the novel by M. A. Bulgakov “The Master and Margarita”. The cultural information and memory are
  explicated in the original text by different kinds of culturonyms, describing the action of the heroes
  in biblical, Moscow and infernal time. This study presents the analysis of the cases of culturonyms’
  transfer from the Bulgakov’s text into the English translations by using the strategy of estrangement.
  The application of the strategy of estrangement allows to recreate the original “strangeness” of the
  mystical novel in translations, which affects the perception of readers and provides a high degree of
  interpretiveness of the literary text information. Refs 25.
