Summary/Abstract: The article examines the activities of the hero of the novels Переводчик (Translator) and (Once in Bishkek) by Arkan Kariv — Martin Silber. The essence of this activity is translation, both in the literal sense and in the broad sense — the transcultural mission of the hero. The article analytically focuses on the patterns of such activity: Russian literary-centricity, the culturological intention of the hero’s actions and beginnings, his linguistic philological hearing, metempsychosis as a traumatic form on the path of self-identification in a multilingual and multicultural context.
