Abstract
This article considers the literary journal Maladosć under its first editor, Aliaksei Kulakoŭski (1953–1958), and its engagement with world literatures and cultures. Maladosć in the 1950s provides a case study of cultural transfer between Belarusophone and foreign cultures at a time when literary and cultural Russification was quickly intensifying. The article makes use of the full archive of Maladosć from 1953–1958 to characterize the journal’s literary translation acti vity and its discussion of world cultures, and draws on the theoretical approaches of Iryna Šabloŭskaja and other scholars to contextualize Maladosć’s engagement with world literature in Belarusian cultural history of the Thaw era. The article concludes that Maladosć contributed to the revitalization of Belarus’s inter national cultural ties, especially with European literatures, after the cultural isolation of late Stalinism.
