Abstract
This study examines cultural values and social norms reflected in the proverbs and sayings of the Karakalpak and Russian peoples. Proverbs and sayings serve as carriers of folk wisdom, reinforcing behavioral norms, moral attitudes, and social ideals. The analysis shows that Karakalpak proverbs emphasize respect for elders, family, and the collective, while Russian proverbs focus more on personal moral qualities and social justice. The paper explores similarities and differences from a cultural perspective, demonstrating how proverbs contribute to shaping value orientations and transmitting traditional experience from generation to generation.
