metadata.value: The article provides an overview of early Russian translations and publication of modern Chinese
  fiction (1919-1949). The approaches to the early study of the works of prominent representatives
  of modern Chinese literature are examined and the reasons why Soviet society
  is interested in their heritage are identified. Since the 1920s, well-known works of renowned
  Chinese writers have been frequently translated into Russian mainly by young sinologists.
  Most of them had been to China and had developed a direct understanding of the development
  of modern Chinese literature, translating primarily from Chinese and using English
  translations for various reasons occasionally. The Chinese and Soviet cultural activists also
  played an important role in the spread of modern Chinese prose in the USSR. At the same
  time, a serious study of modern Chinese prose began, and until the end of the 1940s was actually
  at the initial stage, being mainly of a socio-political nature as the study was determined by
  the state of the ideological atmosphere in Soviet society. Early researchers paid the most attention
  to the works of Lu Xun, referring to his ideological outlook and artistic merits. Overall,
  the early translation and study of modern Chinese fiction revealed to the Soviet reader the
  ideological and social aspects of the works of modern novelists belonging to the left flank of Chinese literature, and laid the foundation for more extensive and in-depth research of modern
  Chinese literature during the next phase.
