Mirsky on ombiguity of Russian prose genres

[B. Shir]

Dear All:
I cannot find the pages in Mirsky, where he tries to explain difference between roman, povest', rasskaz, novella in Rus Lit.
Could anybody help me?
Any other suggestions on what to read in English on genres of Russian prose and their difference in definition in comparison with genres of European literature?
Thank you  in advance,
BS

Hello
In my research to discover English Translations of Ukrainian plays I
found

YAROSLAV THE WISE by Ivan Kocherha, a drama in verse translated by
Walter May (128p.) Dnipro, Kiev, 1982.

If you know if this script is available in the USA, I'd appreciate
receiving email or postal address or phone number which would provide a
contact so I could secure the script.

I am a retired University Theatre prof who still works. I'm preparing
for a June 15th departure to Ukraine to be part of a workshop on English
as a second language through Drama in Cherkassy and Zolotonosha. This
year I want to use translated Ukrainian plays as a basis for
instruction.

I'm also trying to track BLIGHT by Mykola Kulish(Translator Maria
Popovich-Semeniuk) and Volodymyr the Great by Myroslava
Lasoys'ka-Kruk(Translator Anna Stepaniuk Trojan.)

Whatever information you can provide will be GREATLY APPRECIATED!
