Modality is one of the most interesting categories in linguistics for researchers. The key provisions determining the essence of the category of modality in the modern Russian language, were outlined in the work by V. V. Vinogradov "On the category of modality and modal words", where he characterizes this concept as follows: "Every sentence includes modal value as a significantly designed characteristic, that is, contains an indication of the relationship to reality" (Vinogradov,1950). Modality is included in predicativity and is one of the main features of any sentence that makes it a syntactic category. Following V. V. Vinogradov’s concept modality means the ratio of the content of the narrative to reality (reported to its real implementation) from the point of view of the speaker. There are objective-modal meaning of reality/unreality, subjective modal value of reliability/probability, predicate modality of possibility, impossibility, etc.Our appeal to folk sayings as a specific material of the study isn’t just a coincidence. Proverbs are a widespread genre of oral folk poetry where the experience of any nation is briefly, succinctly and convincingly accumulated and at the same time, fixed and transmitted from generation to generation over the centuries; it is also the history, ideology, spiritual values, in-depth features and peculiarities of Russian character and identity of the Russian soul, highly organized thinking culture of the Russian people. Thus, we consider this material is warranted.
