Based on the fact that folklore is a kind of re-transmitter of the most important worldviews, images and supporting symbols of ethnic consciousness, the author of the article analyzes the symbolism of Russian songs that exist in the Republic of Moldova related to the life of folklore carriers - the world of things in peasant life (canvas, tape, shawl, lash, etc.), to various buildings and their parts, to some types of agricultural work (plowing the field, sowing, harvesting, spreading flax, sowing poppies, sowing hops, etc.). Folklore works contained in the site materials collected by the author in Russian villages of the Republic of Moldova, as well as selected from existing collections, served as examples. They trace the nature and characteristics of everyday life and lifestyle, reveal some principles of everyday family life, the connection of the aesthetics of the world of things in the song text with moral principles, with unwritten, but sacredly observed folk morality. The inextricable connection of the world of things with tradition and ritual is demonstrated.
