Various definitions pointing to the complexity of the notion of «national culture code» are provided. The author analyzes and interprets the results of the interview that allow her identify the factors of forming the moral and ethical features of the Russians today. Using the interview data the author tries to find out the peculiarities of the Russian national and cultural mindset (mentality), and the national culture code. On the one hand, the national culture code reveals itself in the nation’s lifestyle, is transmitted by the nation’s language and by numerous culture texts including proverbs, sayings, and the national classics. On the other hand, learning folklore texts and the national literary classics will help our compatriots to form the national culture code and keep it safe.
