Abstract:

The Proto-Bulgarian loan words play quite a significant part in the Modern Russian literary language but until now their study has been limited to the diachronic aspect. In the current paper a few parameters and characteristics of the synchronic use of the Proto-Bulgarian words: хоругвь, капище, ковчег, кумир, сан have been studied. These words form part of the present Russian religious terminology. A study of this type is especially interesting when we take into consideration the centuries-long and very close relations between Bulgaria and Russia in the sphere of the Orthodox religion, church and culture.

Keywords:
