metadata.value: This is the first review of the existing research on the topic of indirect translation
  in Dutch-Russian language pair. Both theoretical justifications for the study of
  this problem (H. Pięta, M. Ringmar, C. Dollerup, etc.) and the results of empirical research (I. E. Kuznetsova, H. van der Tak, I. M. Michajlova, etc.) are presented. The paper
  includes observations on the influence of the mediating language on the creation of
  the first dictionaries, translation of scientific works, legal documents and fiction, and
  separately highlights the issue of using English as a “pivot language” in popular online
  translators. The main problem in this case becomes the translation of personal pronouns
  and homonyms. In recent years, on the one hand, researchers have been fighting
  the stigmatisation of mediated translation as a priori inferior and proving that mediated
  languages link distant cultures and play an important role in the dissemination of
  literature. On the other hand, textual analyses of different types of indirect translations
  reveal errors and inaccuracies that could have been easily avoided in direct translation.
  An intermediary translation can be seen as a translation made with the help of a
  language other than the source language, but not necessarily from a “third language”:
  when translation plurality occurs, we can often speak of intralanguage indirect translation.
  This paper uses Multatuli’s novel Max Havelaar as an illustration, in particular
  the 1959 Russian edition, where German and Russian translations mediate. Resorting
  to the help of their predecessors, the Russian translators omit the same fragments, use
  similar paraphrases, and repeat lexical and phonetic distortions. The use of mediating
  texts is certainly related to extra-linguistic factors: lack of translators, demand for
  texts, publishers’ desire to reduce costs or speed up the translation process. The study of
  specific cases of indirect translation and further systematisation of the identified distortions
  allows us to track negative trends, and the novel Max Havelaar and its translations
  into different languages can serve as material for identifying these patterns.
