Abstract
The study addresses the lack of systematization of the literary translations from Russian into Norwegian. The first part of the article examines the early period of the literary translations from Russian into Norwegian (translations from 1867 to 1940). The material includes translations, critical reviews, and translator biographies. The research method combines translation analysis and cultural-historical analysis. As a result, the translators who played a key role in introducing the works of Russian writers to Norwegian readers were identified, typical translation strategies of the period were determined, and the features of the early period of the literary translations from Russian into Norwegian were described.
