Abstract

The article examines how Abdulhamid Cholpon (1897-1938) carried Russian realia into Uzbek when he translated Pushkin, Gogol and Gorky and, through Russian, Shakespeare. Drawing on the realia theory of S. Vlakhov and S. Florin and on J. F. Aixela's account of culture-specific items, it traces two recurring solutions, the sound-based transcription of ranks and proper names and the substitution of everyday items by Arabic and Persian words already settled in Uzbek. The choices are read against I. Even-Zohar's polysystem reasoning, which explains why translation held a central position in the young Uzbek literature of the 1920s and 1930s.
