learn_russianFor those who are interested in Russian cultural heritage, which I assume most of you are, here is a link I found some time ago in the University of Virginia library. It is about Osip Mandelshtam, a prominent Russian poet of the early 20-th century who is very much underpraised but still very well known in Russia. One of my favourites actually.
There are also original texts and attempted translations of his poems.
Although the translations are not actually poems but more like explanations and I may well critisize the transliteration methods chosen by the author, the article itself is very well written and reveals true devotion to the subject.
Enjoy.
P.S. To read the Russian texts properly you have to choose Cyrillic KOI-8R encoding rather than Cyr-Windows.
