Biography

[edit]

Fyodorov Andrey Venediktovich was born on 19th April 1906 in Saint Petersburg. He graduated from the Philological Faculty of the Higher Courses for the History of Arts at the State Institute for the History of Arts in 1929.

While living and working in Leningrad, he was a student of the following philologists and linguists: Lev Vladimirovich Shcherba, Yury Nikolaevich Tynyanov, Viktor Vladimirovich Vinogradov, Viktor Maksimovich Zhirmunsky, Sergey Ignatyevich Bernshteyn, Boris Alexandrovich Larin.

Since 1930 he taught in the Higher school (since 1956 — in Leningrad State University, 1960 he became a professor, from 1963 until 1979 he was the chairman of the Department of German Philology)

During World War II, he was in the army field forces: He worked as a translator, writer of leaflets, and captain of administrative services. Fyodorov was awarded the Order of the Red Star, the Order of the Patriotic War (Second Class), and the Medal "For the Defence of Leningrad".

His first paper ‘Проблемы стихотворного перевода’ (Problems in Translating Poetry) was published in 1927. His first publication ‘Искусство перевода‘ (The Art of Translation) was written co-authored with Korney Chukovsky in 1930. Fyodorov is named as the author of ten books and more than 200 publications about translation and interpretation. He also translated the works of many famous German (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann, Heinrich Heine, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Thomas Mann, Heinrich von Kleist) and French (Denis Diderot, Marcel Proust, Guy de Maupassant, Jean-Baptiste Molière, Gustave Flaubert, Alfred de Musset) authors into Russian.

He is an author of the well-known monography about life and work of the poet Innokentiy Fyodorovich Annensky. Fyodorov struck the perfect balance: He had the fundamental philological knowledge, the sharp feel for linguistics and the writing talent. Three editions of poems of Annensky (in 1939, 1959, and 1990) were printed with introduction written by Fyodorov in the book series ‘Библиотека поэта’ (Library of the Poet).

Fyodorov also had his books on stylistics and linguistics.

Currently, the Saint Petersburg Center for Translation Studies n.a. A.V. Fyodorov has been built up at the Department of English Philology and Translation of the Faculty of Philology of Saint Petersburg State University.
