Djordje Popović-Daničar – Translator, Publisher and Propagandist of Gogol’s Works in Serbian Vojvodina in the 19th Century

The article analyzes the translation and publishing activities of Djordje Popović-Daničar (1832–1914), an active propagandist of Russian literature and especially Gogol’s work in Vojvodina in the middle of the 19th century. The first translations of Gogol’s works made by Popović for the newspapers «Sedmitsa», «Danica» and the almanac «Zabavama Srbkinjama» edited by them are systematized. It is shown that with the method of publication chosen by Popović, the Serbian reader could not fully comprehend Gogol’s intention, because the unity of the cycles of the works of the Russian author was destroyed, nevertheless, the Serbian publisher managed to acquaint readers with the collections «Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka», «Mirgorod» and «Arabesques» as much as possible.The article also provides information about Popovich’s attitude to Gogol from his personal letters found by us in the archive of Matitsa Serbskaya (Novi Sad, Serbia), as well as his literary and critical speeches in the press about Russian literature. The conclusion is made about the key role of this journalist and translator in popularizing Gogol’s work in the Balkans.
