Summary/Abstract: The article represents the comparative analysis of the phraseologisms with the the component gora 'mountain' in the Russian language and their analogues in Bulgarian and Serbian. The analysis revealed both similarities and differences in the conceptualization of mountain as a landform in the linguistic cultures under study. The similarities in the structure and semantics of phraseologisms are due to the fact that a part of these fixed phrases are internationalisms that originate from classical literature and Bible. The presence of similar metaphors and symbols we explain by the universal mechanisms of creating cognitive metaphors and symbols. The differences between the Russian, Bulgarian and Serbian phraseologisms are based on purely linguistic specifics as well as on the characteristics of nature and landscape of Russia (Russian Plain), Bulgaria and Serbia.
