In Krylov's fables, it is shown that wisdom, expressed in the awareness of the concept of thought, makes efforts to translate as its own work, and at the end of each example, edifying reasoning is given. Also, using the methods of comparison, interpretation, grouping and textual analysis of original texts and texts of literary translation, it is told about the useful art the poet received from the Russian literature through translation, and was able to apply it to his work. The methods of transformation used in the Abai translations are determined: generalization, concretization, antonymization, etc. The purpose of A.
