Abstract
The article is devoted to the problem of choosing a strategy for the translation and use of relevant translation techniques to convey the meaning of idioms, reflecting facts of Chinese culture, into Russian. To solve this problem, it is proposed to rely on the lacuna theory, an attempt is made to justify the use of translation techniques for transmitting idioms into Russian, taking into account types of lacunae. Examples of idioms possible translation into Russian are analyzed.
