The article observes the Russian translation of works by contemporary Israeli writers (E. Kishon, A.B. Yehoshua, A. Oz, M. Shalev, D. Grossman) with the emphasis on such literary device as estrangement. Estrangement is seen as the intrinsic part of the linguistic worldview of these authors and as a means of translation, complementary to translation strategies of domestication and foreignization. Estrangement is meant to be specific intonation of the authors of the 4^th period of literature in modern Hebrew and is realized in different stylistic and grammar constructions.
