Abstract
The article analyzes the translations into Russian of Siberian-Tatar folklore recorded in the second half of the 19th century by the turkologist V. Radlov. While working as a teacher in Altai, the young scholar annually conducted scientific expeditions to the territories, inhabited by Turkic peoples, to collect and record texts from native speakers for further comparative study. Over ten years, he collected a wealth of material on samples of oral folklore among numerous Turkic peoples, living in the Russian Empire, including the Siberian Tatars. The object of our research is the 4th volume of the famous ten-volume work “Samples of Folk Literature of the Turkic Tribes Living in Southern Siberia and the Dzungarian Steppe,” compiled by the future founder of Russian Turkology V. Radlov. The presented volume incorporates various genres of folklore recorded among the Tatars living in the Novosibirsk, Omsk and Tyumen Regions. The purpose of the article is to study the folklore material translations into Russian, presented in the specified volume and made by a group of researchers under the guidance of the Kazan University Professor, dialectologist and turkologist Yusupov Farit (Ferits). It was done to familiarize with Siberian-Tatar folklore a wide range of philologists, interested in the work of the turkologist V. Radlov, and to expand its readership. The article analyzes a series of books, which present the originals of folklore texts, collected by Radlov, as well as their translations into Russian, and reveals the genre diversity of the material, noting some features of their translations.
