Moscow’s library of foreign literature plans to set up an institute of translation
Russia is ready to open a center to assist in international understanding. The Director of Moscow’s Library of Foreign Literature, Yekaterina Genieva, comments.
“The Library plans to set up an Institute of Translation, or a ‘House of the Translator’,” she says. “It hopes to receive financial support to popularize Russian authors abroad through plentiful, high quality translations, which demonstrate increasing professionalism.”
A Translation Institute would render a good service to foreign translators of Russian literature who help advance Russian authors in the world market along with their Russian colleagues.
