Abstract. The paper considers the analysis of translatological trilingualism which is essential for cross-cultural exchange and translation studies. Today trilingualism is perceived as a form of multilingualism that includes a mechanism for formation and development of a language personality. The paper presents the accumulated experience of trilingual educational techniques in Russia and abroad, which was starkly demonstrated by I. Alexeeva, as well as the perspectives of their implementation into the educational process. Trilingualism is considered as a complex phenomenon that includes anthropological, social and linguistic, as well as social and cultural components. The aspect of cultures which implies the phased existence of the same text in three linguistic substances, as well as translation of literary works aimed at transfer of the works of fiction from one language to another through an intermediary language. Concurrently, the special attention is paid to the Russian language and its productive role as a cultural mediator in translation of the world literature to the languages of the peoples of Russia, which has not been thoroughly studied yet. The intermediary results of the research were presented by A. Boyarkina. The paper reveals perspectives for application of the trilingual model in order to expand the translatological functions of the artificial intelligence. The Master's programme in "Translation Theory, Cross-Cultural and Cross-Lingual Communication" implemented at Kazan Federal University, revealed by S. Takhtarova, the head of the programme, and K. Prosyukova, the coordinator of the programme, as well as other educational programmes in St. Petersburg and Almaty, carefully analysed by I. Alexeeva and A. Boyarkina, are the successful examples of trilingualism as an educational tool. To sum up, it is concluded that the interaction of three languages is able to create the effective educational environment that ensures the exchange of cultures and transmits cultural values, as well as linguistic and translation skills, formed on the basis of other two languages.

Key words: translation, trilingualism, language as a cultural mediator, Russian language, languages of the peoples of Russia, literary translation.
