Special Issue of Chtenia distributed to Russian programs

[Paul Richardson]

Thanks to a grant from Russkiy Mir Foundation (russkiymir.ru), over 1000 copies of "Chekhov Bilingual," a special English and Russian edition of the literary quarterly Chtenia, are being distributed this month to over 230 Russian language learning programs in US high schools and colleges. The publication, issued in connection with the 150th anniversary of Anton Chekhov’s birth, features some of the writer’s most beloved works with English translations and accented Russian on opposing pages.

Chtenia is a quarterly publication of Russian Information Services, a 20-year-old publishing company based in Montpelier, Vermont, and is the only regularly published journal of Russian literature and fine readings in English translation. The editor is Tamara Eidelman. Each issue of Chtenia has a theme, and the readings in that issue revolve about that theme. This special issue, themed “Chekhov Bilingual” was guest edited by Evgeny Dengub, of Amherst College.
