Alas, AFAIK only a few poems by Andrukhovych appeared in Russian
translation (in the portfolio of poetry by the Bu-ba-bu group in _Druzhba
narodov_ a few years ago). He certainly *should* be translated into
Russian, to alleviate the scandalous ignorance of Ukrainian literature in
Russia. Especially his second novel, _Moskoviada: Roman zhakhiv_
(Moscoviada: A Novel of Horrors), should reach the Russian reader. While
we are on the subject of translations, very little of Andrukhovych's
writing has been translated, and even less published, in English--the
situation which, I hope, will change soon.

Sincerely,

Vitaly Chernetsky
