The article explores the linguistic and cultural potential of dialectal expressions with the components «God» and «devil» for teaching Russian as a foreign language at an advanced level. Based on the material of folk dialects, the article analyzes stable formulas that reveal the archaic layers of the Russian linguistic worldview; it examines the binary opposition of these concepts, where God represents order and norm, and the devil represents chaos and deviation. The article also proposes a method of integrating dialectal material into the process of teaching Russian as a foreign language through a system of tasks: conceptual analysis, pragmatic exercises, and project work. It is proved that studying such phraseology not only expands vocabulary, but also contributes to a deeper understanding of the Russian mentality.
