This lecture explores the complex and often contentious dynamics of Ukrainian-Russian coexistence within the so-called “shared cultural space” from the early 1920s to the early 1950s, focusing specifically on the field of literary translation. It examines how Russian literature was translated into Ukrainian, considering both reprints and first-time translations.
