Abstract
The essay traces the history of Kornei Chukovsky’s translation of Whitman’s
“yawp” into Russian, points out the oddities of the translation and suggests a tentative
explanation of Chukovsky’s word choice. It also examines the “yawp” in the Russian
translation of the film Dead Poets Society.
