Abstract:

The publication is devoted to the unique experience of translating Russian classics into the Abkhazian language, and summarizes the results of painstaking work in this subtlest area of artistic creativity.

Lermontov’s “Prisoner,” “I look at the future with fear ...,” “Ballad (A beautiful maiden sits over the sea ...),” A.A. Fet’s “Your cheeks are burning ...,” “Do not wake her at dawn ...,” F.I. Tyutchev’s “Insomnia,” “And there is no feeling in your eyes ...,” “Probleme (Problem),” “The Last Cataclysm,” N.S. Gumilyov’s “By the Fireplace,” “Eagle,” A.A. Blok’s “The Girl Sang in the Church Choir,” “To Friends,” V.Ya. Bryusov’s “Assargadon,” “Do not cry and do not think...,” A.A. Akhmatova’s “I am not with those who left the earth...,” “And now you are heavy and dull...,” “Tearful autumn, like a widow …,” “I had a voice,” V.F.
