J. Brodsky’s poem Predstavlenije presents no semantic difficulties for a Russian reader,
but attempts to translate it into foreign languages have not always been successful due
to a large number of references to Soviet reality and intertextual links found in the text.
The present article is devoted to the comparative analysis of three translations of this
poem: those done by Thomas Campbell and Alexandra Berlina (both into the English
language) as well as one created by Jerzy Czech (into the Polish language).
