About the book: 2016 / In the "Translator's Tribune" section - "Chronicles: from a translator's diary" by Andre Markovich (1961), student of Efim Etkind, translator from Russian into French, whose track record includes “Eugene Onegin”, “Masquerade” by Lermontov, Fet, Dostoevsky, Chekhov, etc. There is a lot of bitterness in these confessions: “So, what am I doing? I translate foreign authors into a language in which there is not the slightest interest in foreign versification, at a moment in the development of culture when no one, or almost no one, understands anything about versification..."Foreign Literature, 2016 № 12
