The paper focuses on the English translation of «To a Woman», a sonnet by V. Brusov. The sonnet was translated by Dina Belyaeva, an American poetess, who had translated verses by Alexander Pushkin, Mikhail Lermontov, Anna Akhmatova, Alexander Blok, etc. In the meantime, she translated sonnets by William Shakespeare and verses by Emily Dickenson into Russian. The translation analysis concluded that D. Belyaeva managed to fairly represent V. Brusov’s sonnet to the English-speaking audience.

This chapter discusses some of the figures responsible for redeveloping the cultural heritage of Russian modernism and the avant-garde and shaping its reception in the post-Stalinist period. Because Stalinism had sought to consign the modernist experience to oblivion, deeming it too complex and problematic, and to substitute its own cultural dogmas, their work proved crucial for defining the modes of poetic development in underground culture from the mid-1950s onwards. The main figures discussed are Anna Akhmatova, Vasilisk Gnedov, Evgeny Kropivnitsky, Igor Bakhterev, Pavel Zal’tsman, and Ian Satunovsky.

Anna Akhmatova

Mikhail Zoshchenko was a Soviet writer of short stories and tales (sometimes autobiographical), as well as a feuilletonist, memoirist, and dramatist. He was a member of the Serapion Brothers writers’ collective. Zoshchenko was best known for his hilarious lampooning of Soviet bureaucracy and the rampant scam artists of the 1920s. In the 1930s, his works were increasingly subjected to censorship and criticism. Evacuated from Leningrad during World War Two, he spent part of the war in Alma Ata (Kazakhstan). In 1946 his career was dramatically curtailed by Communist Party statesman Andrei Zhdanov, who led a public campaign of criticism against Zoshchenko and the poet Anna Akhmatova. Deprived of his membership in the Soviet Writers’ Union, and hence his right to earn a living as an author, Zoshchenko died in 1958.
