Hayward translation of "Zhivago"

[Stephanie Sures]

The recent discussion of translations of "Master and Margarita" prompted 
another question. As far as I know, there is only one English translation 
of "Doctor Zhivago",and that's the one by Max Hayward et al. Is there some 
reason this book has only had one translation, whereas with other works there 
may be multiple translations? Did it have something to do with Pasternak (a 
friend of his, more precisely) having to smuggle the work out of Russia inorder 
to get it published (i.e., the initial Soviet crackdown on the book)? 

Thanks in advance,
