many non-russians read pushkin in translation? may, shevchenko too «national»to be understood by the other peoples? yes and in general, many artists from other literatures have a stable success abroad? not very much, frankly. the main «suppliers» of these writers, the great britain, germany, usa, france. much fewer of them is from spain, italy, the eastern countries.take the same russia: one of the writers constantly read, adaptations, put in the theatres of non-russians abroad? tolstoy, dostoevsky, chekhov, vladimir nabokov (who wrote in english) is much less - turgenev, leskov, berdyaev. and who from the russian «canon» is a pure russian? the frenchman lermontov, an ethiopian pushkin, georgians mayakovsky or jew brodsky?
