Victor:You give wise counsel on the two 'Russian' women.
However, you give Standard Thought on the question of translation.
Nearly all translators agree with you, but for questionable reasons:
they prefer translating INTO their native languages because it is easier. True. Yet, why is an easier translation a better translation? Take your favorite Russian poet or novelist. Say you want to recommend it to a non-Russian friend. Say there are two translations available and both translators are 'unknowns' to you. Are you going to choose the non-Russian translation with smooth English OR the Russian Russian translation with rough English?Thanks for your interest.
