The article examines how systemic semantic relations are represented in the Russian paremiological fund through stable lexical oppositions, convergent thematic groupings, and field based associations. The material includes thirty Russian proverbs taken from canonical paremiographic sources by V.I.Dal, V.P.Zhukov, and V.M.Mokienko. The analysis combines descriptive paremiology, lexical semantics, and contextual interpretation in order to show that proverb meaning is produced not only by isolated images, but also by recurrent relations among lexical units and value domains. The results demonstrate that antonymy structures evaluative contrast most strongly, while near synonymic convergence and hyponymic clustering organize broader networks of social instruction.
