1. I vaguely remember someone on this community saying that the Russian Harry Potter translations were awful. Is this true or am I imagining things?

2. I'm really curious about how translators have handled Zoshchenko's short stories. I'm having trouble imagining it. Does anyone have any favorite translations (into English) to recommend?

Translations by Masha Spivak are quite good, aren't they?

Never opened them after being told about Злеус Злей. ;)

No way. "Толстая тетя" as the rendering for The Fat Lady drove me nuts :)
