The article presents associative characteristics of anthroponyms selected from Vladimir
Sorokin’s novel Day of Oprichnik and referring to Russian history. The national
character of these names as well as their implicit meaning and hidden allusions easily
recognizable to Russian readers are a major obstacle for translators which does
not allow them to carry all associations of multilayer names into the translated text.
In translation practice, there is no adequate strategy for translating such a category
of names and certain significant components of a postmodern text. For that reason
these anthroponyms can be classified as “untranslatable in translation”.
