Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the presented article is to analyze the specifics of the translation of a modern Russian literary text — the story-memoir of Oleg Pavlov Pupils into Czech. The authors presented the translation as a transfer of non-equivalent vocabulary, realities into another language while maintaining semantic and formal-aesthetic equivalence. The article considers controversial or ambiguous solutions for translating selected realities that carry national connotations based on specific adaptation techniques (transcription, analog, description, generalization, tracing, omission).
