Abstract

The paper raises the topical issue of the existence of the Slavic world and Slavic languages, and analyzes its role in the cultural space of the Pridnestrovian region. Slavs as a community exist thanks to the languages that originate from a common proto-Slavic root. The purpose of the reserach is to reflect the significance of the Slavic world and, accordingly, the Slavic language for the cultural life of Pridnestrovie. The Slavic language acts not only as a language of interethnic communication, but also as a cultural code of the specific Romano-Slavic culture of our region. Of no small importance is the veneration of the original Slavic values of the Orthodox peoples, which represent the sources of Slavic unity and contributes to the development of Slavic mentality, cultures and cohesion of peoples on the basis of historical and cultural heritage, community of traditions and spiritual values of man. The work uses the cultural-historical method. The origin of the Slavic culture is considered, when in the deep history the ancestors of the Slavs created a unique Vedic culture. We can say that the Slavic world and the Slavic language, respectively, are the basis for the mentality and existence of our people, but of course, the center of the Slavic world is Russia. Accordingly, the Russian language is the core language of the Slavic world, closely interacting with the Ukrainian and Moldovan languages, which are recognized as the three state languages in the Transnistrian region. This does not prevent us from contacting other languages, for example Bulgarian; this interaction enriches both the languages themselves and their native speakers, in whose minds these languages function. The preservation of the Slavic languages is the preservation of the people as a person.
