Uniquely, XXXX does not focus on any one medium or discipline (such as ‘PR’ or ‘design’) but combines them to reach the best solution to suit the client’s business objectives. Our aim is to help Russian organisations market themselves more effectively to western target audiences through reputation-building communication programmes.

XXXX уникальна тем, что не ограничивается одним средством или одной отраслью (будь то «пиар» или «дизайн»), а сочетает их, с тем чтобы достичь наилучшего решения, отражающего коммерческие интересы нашего клиента. Наша задача – содействовать наиболее эффективному маркетингу Российских организаций на западном рынке посредством разработки и реализации программ маркетинговых коммуникаций, способствующих завоеванию высокой репутации у целевой аудитории.

Споры между Договаривающимися Сторонами относительно толкования и применения настоящего Соглашения будут разрешаться путем переговоров.
Если таким образом спор не будет урегулирован, то по требованию любой из Договаривающихся Сторон он будет передан на рассмотрение в третейский суд.
Третейский суд выносит свое решение большинством голосов. Такое решение будет иметь обязательную силу. Каждая из Договаривающихся Сторон будет нести расходы, связанные с деятельностью назначенного ею члена суда; расходы, связанные с деятельностью председателя суда, а также прочие расходы Договаривающиеся Стороны будут нести в равных долях. По всем иным вопросам третейский суд определит порядок своей работы самостоятельно.

Disputes between the Contracting Parties concerning the interpretation and implementation of this Agreement shall be resolved by negotiations.
If the dispute cannot be settled thereby, it shall, at the request of either Contracting Party, be submitted to an arbitral tribunal.
The arbitral tribunal shall reach its decision by a majority of votes. Such decision shall be binding on both Parties. Each Contracting Party shall bear the expenses of its own member of the tribunal, while the costs related to the Chairman, as well as the other costs, are to be paid for equally by both Contracting Parties. On all the other matters, the arbitral tribunal shall determine its own procedure independently.

Артур О’Бауэр собрал свою рать,
И с нею на север пошел воевать;
Хоть и силен был Шотландский король,
Не сдался ему наш отважный герой.
Russian to English: Song
Source text - Russian
Однозвучно гремит колокольчик,
И дорога пылится слегка.
И уныло по ровному полю
Разливается песнь ямщика.
Translation - English
Chimes a bell its monotonous ding-dong,
And the road fills the air with dust.
And a dreary song of the coachman
Sails afar over fields, plain and vast.
Russian to English: Poetry
Source text - Russian
Ветер весело шумит,
Судно весело бежит
Мимо острова Буяна,
В царство славного Салтана.
Translation - English
A fresh breeze is gaily blowing,
And the brig is swiftly going
Past the Island of Buyan,
To the Kingdom of Saltan.
Russian to English: Nursery phyme

Павлин, как важный господин,
Всегда гуляет не один –
За ним индюк идет с индейкой,
Затем петух и куры змейкой,
Плетутся утки по пятам,
Мелькают гуси тут и там…
Дед это видел по утрам.
Translation - English
Mr. Peacock, like a Lord,
Always walks with his escort –
Two-three turkeys follow track,
Hens and rooster back-to-back,
Ducks are slow and lag behind,
Geese are wandering around …
All of that my Grandpa watched
In the morning from his porch.

Bio
I am a native speaker of Russian, a professional linguist with an M.A. in English Language, Literature and Translation Studies. I teach English for Academic Purposes (EAP) at the University of Haifa, Israel. In addition to frontal teaching, I write educational materials for an e-learning component of EAP courses and am involved in research.

As a freelance translator, I have translated and edited a variety of articles, documents, reports, manuals, marketing materials and questionnaires from English into Russian and from Russian into English.

In addition to harmonization and proofreading, my expertise in linguistic validation of questionnaires for clinical studies includes cognitive debriefing: recruiting and interviewing subjects/patients, summarizing respondents' feedback and providing suggestions for refining the translation.
