Annotation: The purpose of the study is to consider the “cultural code” as one of the most relevant concepts for humani- ties disciplines studying the state of culture in modern society. Interdisciplinary approaches to the definition of the “cultural code” are taken as a basis, indicating the complexity of this concept. The authors identify the meaningful structure of the concept of “cultural code” in relation to the Abkhaz reality in the parameters of deconstruction and reconstruction of images and symbols using the example of the State Coat of Arms of the Republic of Abkhazia and personifying symbols of social order and progress. Based on the results of the study, the authors identify several key theses and conclusions, in particular: the necessary features of legal regulation of public relations; that the theory of cultural code provides a contextual understanding of human communica- tive behavior and represents the relationship between communication and culture. This also means that in the dynamic interaction of the individual and the social whole, traditions and innovations, freedoms and obligations, both the individual human potential and the public benefit receive an increment.
