Abstract
Precedent text (PT) is a cultural phenomenon which emphasizes the attributes of a certain language community and the strangeness of an interlocutor to that culture and language community.The essence of PT and the obstacles in intercultural communicative process lies in its relation to natives’ culture (source language) and its strangeness to culture of the target language. Therefore, although PT can assist a translator, it can also cause difficulties for translation and intercultural communication. One of the particular differences can be the religious identity of authors/readers of source language and the time gap. In this case, PT may be difficult for not only readers of target language but also natives.The article examines the role of precedent texts in Russian version of the novel "My Name is Red" by O. Pamuk. Comparative method is used here in order to identify translation problems arising in the process of translating these texts and to propose solutions to them.
