The study distinguishes the following stages in Russian-Ukrainian translation: 1) 1917-1926 – the formation of Russian-Ukrainian literary translation with poetry translation playing a leading role; 2) 1927-1932 – an increase in the number of translations of Russian prose, including multi-volume editions; establishment of a philologically accurate translation focused on the style of the source; 3) 1933-1945 – ideologisation of translation norms, a change in the method of translation to one that is reader-oriented, and retranslations; 4) 1945 - mid-1950 – mass-market editions of Russian classics and the spread of "edited translations"; Russian becomes the predominant source language; 5) mid-1950 - 1972 – condemnation of literalism in translations from or through Russian and resistance to Russification; 6) 1972 - 1991 – translation of mainly contemporary Russian authors, in particular "rural" and "lieutenant's prose"; 7) 1991 - 1999 – reduction of the number of translations of Russian literature and mass publications of translations into Russian; 8) 1999-2014 – distancing of the Ukrainian book market from Russian and translations of Russian-speaking writers of Ukraine; 9) 2014-2022 – curbing of the "common information space" with Russia; translations of Russian-speaking writers from the former Soviet republics. The work argues that Russian-Ukrainian translation has both bright and dark sides: on the one hand, it allowed Ukrainian culture to absorb the experience of Russian culture, its literary forms and ideas, thereby contributing to the advancement of Ukrainian literature, and on the other hand, through the Russian language and translations from Russian, the Soviet cultural space was established, which was deliberately isolated from the world cultural space and was supposed to replace it, contributing to the Russification of the Ukrainian language and the provincialisation of Ukrainian literature.
