description In this article, we analyze the “Russian World” concept, which, despite its growing prevalence in various discourses, has yet to achieve a definitive understanding as a cognitive construct. This lack of clarity is further complicated by its sociocultural, mythological, and ideological dimensions, particularly those promulgated by the Russian government. Within the scope of this article, we present a brief analysis of the diverse interpretations of this concept, along with our conceptualization, by dividing it into three axiological conceptual functions: mythologeme, cultureme, and ideologeme. The “Russian World” mythologeme is considered a system of beliefs underpinning the value relations within society, the cultureme as the aggregate of cultural knowledge actively cultivated by its adherents – namely, the Russian intelligentsia, and the ideologeme that regulates the domestic and international policy of the Russian state. By highlighting these conceptual functions, the study reveals the intricate layers of the “Russian World,” emphasizing its role in shaping complex identities and social dynamics.
