ИСТИНА

Slovenian poetry came to the Russian reader in the second half of the XIX century. One of the most effective in this area was the "Soviet" period: during a half of century from 1948 to 1990 into Russian was translated more than seventy Slovenian authors, including such prominent figures as F.Prešeren, I.Cankar, O.Župančič. The result of the Soviet / Russian translators’ activities were two anthologies of Slovene poetry of the twentieth century, published in 1989 and 2008.
