The paper is devoted to the study of intertextual elements' translation in terms of the Manipulation School of translation that studies translation as a mean of manipulation and its direct impact on reader's perception. The paper studies methods of translation of the largest group of intertextual elements in fiction -intertextual elements from the Bible. Based on the comparative analysis of the intertextual elements from the Bible in original literary texts in English and their translations, which were performed in the Soviet period, we can see manipulation of reader's perception by intentional omission or replacement of the intertextual elements.

Translations of English and American literature of the late 19th -early 20th century, carried out in the Soviet period, are characterized by the strong ideological influence. Being strongly affected by the ideology of that epoch, translators made numerous alterations into the translated Russian texts of the literary works under study. Comparing original and translated texts, the author tries to identify the most common strategies of ideological manipulation in translation, used by the Soviet translators to comply with the requirements set by institutional censorship and the ruling party in the country at that period.
