The Art of Translation in Russia of the XX Century: Specificity and Pecularities

Abstract

The actual article is devoted to the development of translation in Russia in the 20th century. There is a comparative analysis of stylistic means and translation methods used by Russian poets while translating particular poetic texts. The authors of this article are aimed at discovering how precise the translation is and whether the functional equivalence is achieved. There is always an obstacle for the translator: while trying to convey, for instance, the original phonetic organization of the text, one could violate its rhythmic arrangement or some different component, which is capable of influencing the accuracy. Because of this, the article raises the issue of sacrificing some original component for the sake of accuracy.
