Russian anthroponyms within the foreign audience
Works of the writer Jefim Ĉestnjakov are the source of studying national and cultural identity of personal proper nouns in Russian language in connection with their owners and the sphere of their use in different contexts of real-life speech. His works show us how the names function in ordinary life situations. Being used in various contexts they most fully reveal their semantic qualities ascended to the culture and history of Russian people. The works of the writer provide insight into the composition of Russian anthroponymic system, age and the origin of the names, their social colouring, style context, territorial localisation and the existence of underlying forms of anthroponyms. This is very important for solving culture-oriented linguistics problems while teaching Russian language to foreigners.
