Abstract
The article is aimed at describing various aspects of variation in regard to Gary Shteyngart’s novels, including his translingual background, the titles for his novels and the variety of English used for his novels as well as their translations into Russian. It has been identified that there is a variation in perception of the texts. This variability stems from the linguacultural identity of the readers, which in its turn triggers nonidentical, culture specific images from the same concepts, precedent names, toponyms, and other culture specific lexical units. Russian translators of the literature that encompasses or utilizes Russian English may encounter inconspicuous pitfalls stemming from the assumption of the shared linguaculture. This, in its turn, may lead to misrepresentation of the author’s idiostyle.
