LINGUISTIC IDENTITY OF V. O. KLYUCHEVSKI AS A SOURCE OF HISTORICAL REALITIES (FACTS) IN THE PROCESS OF TEACHING THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE

The concept of a linguistic identity has been widely known for several decades. The study of a certain linguistic identity and identification is also important in a foreign audience in the process of teaching and studying Russian language. This is especially evident in the process of the acquisition of new knowledge from a certain sphere of human thinking and cognition. The phenomenon of that kind is unambiguously a history and historical narration, which introduces a foreigner to the historical dimensions of the country of the studied language. Therefore, in the learning process (higher education in the first place) it is very important to refer to the sources of such narrative. In this article we deal with the authoritative source of such historical narrative and historical realities (facts) of the Russian language - V. O Klyuchevsky. On analysing his renowned masterpieces, letters and notes, we strive to analyse his linguistic identity and to extract for the needs of the university audience the conceptual structures of the author, the historical realities and facts put forward by him, the images and symbols that will help the student understand the picture of the Russian language and the historical heritage of the people.
