Brightest lyric poet of the Silver age, "a literary descendant of Pushkin tulchevskaya line," according to his lover, Vladimir Nabokov, — Vladislav Khodasevich was also known as a talented translator. A collection of his translations of "Jewish poets" has received high reviews "...writers and scholars of new Jewish poetry."
