Abstract

The article deals with the actualization of translations of Russian literature representatives in XIX-XX centuries on the territory of the Arab states; special attention is focused on the positive dynamics of the interaction between, on the one hand, the Russian literature , and on the other hand, Arabic literature in the context of the history of cultural, linguistic and other relations between the Russian Federation and several Arab states; based on works of M. Gorky, A. P. Chekhov, L. N. Tolstoy, A. A. Blok,  proved special importance of their work on the territory of the Arab states.The importance of translating the works of these writers and others is reflected in the unprecedented demand for foreign literature among Arab writers, readers, and critics alike. This helped to make Arabic literature, like the Russian literature, interesting not only locally, but also internationally, which helped it to integrate into the world literary arena.Interest in Russian literature began in the year of the 1905 revolution and the subsequent political and revolutionary events that followed. The translation of the works of Russian writers began at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century. It became a door through which Arabs learned about Russian literature and its writers. It should be noted that the first literary translation into the Arabic language appeared in Saint Petersburg in 1863.
