Mikhail Lozinsky

Russian writer (1886-1955) · Russia · On the map · Writers · Died at 68

Mikhail Leonidovich Lozinsky is deemed to be the most accomplished Russian translator of the 20th century. "In the difficult and noble art of translation," said Anna Akhmatova, "Lozinsky was for the twentieth century what Zhukovsky was for the nineteenth."

Mikhail Lozinsky is read about 80 times a day, in 9 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 22 June 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
