Russian accent: Translation/Georgii Efron's diaries

[Alexandra Smith]

Dear Lewis,

I haven't seen the English translation of Georgii Efron's diaries. As  
far as I know from Professor Veronique Lossky, several entries were  
written in French and she was asked by Elena Korkina to translate the  
French entries into Russian. My impression is that Veronique Lossky  
didn't have an opportunity to check all the translated passages for  
accuracy before the publication of the diaries. Perhaps, the omission  
is related to the French parts of the diary?
Thank you very much for your information.

All best,
Alexandra
