This was a seriously interesting thread recently about Russian translations. I've read Anna Karenina multiples times in multiples translations, and it shocked me how lifeless the tr. Pevear/Volokhonsky version seemed. https://twitter.com/mualphaxi/status/1696277443412140263

Here's an article that the thread links to. Apparently P/V only gained popularity by lucking into the Oprah Book Club. I've since thrown out all my P/V Russian translations and ordered the thread's recommended translations. https://www.commentary.org/articles/gary-morson/the-pevearsion-of-russian-literature/
