"History of Russian Literature," written by D. P. Svyatopolk-Mirsky, the "Red Prince," as he was called in Russia, has long received worldwide recognition. The book has been translated into all major European languages ​ ​ (and has been reprinted several times), into all... except Russian. The fact is that the "History of Russian Literature" was originally written in English and was intended for readers abroad. And only in the early 90s did the Russian translation appear.
