List of lit-crit terms in Russian

[David Goldfarb]

An excellent source for the translation of literary terms into a variety
of different languages, even if you don't read Polish, is the _Slownik
terminow literackich_, Ed. Michal Glowinski, Teresa Kostkiewiczowa,
Aleksandra Okopien-Slawinska, and Janusz Slewinski, Vademecum Polonisty
(Wroclaw:  Ossolineum, 1988).

If you do read Polish, it is a fine dictionary of literary terms.  If not,
there are four extensive lists of English, French, German, and Russian
literary terms in the back.  Once you have the term you want in, say,
Russian, you can look up the Polish term, and the main entry will contain
the equivalent in the other languages (if there is one), as well as
languages that are not indexed, like Greek, Latin, etc.

The Russian index would likely serve your purposes.
