Sorokin, Vladislav Fedorovich. Zheng Zhenduo : Article about his talks with Zheng Zhenduo in Moscow in Oct. 1957, when Zheng was on an official visit to the Soviet Union as the PRC deputy minister of culture.
"Zheng Zhenduo did not like to talk about his translations and regretted not knowing Russian, which compelled him to rely on English and German translations in selecting and interpreting the works. He also spoke coolly of his early articles Russian literature of the period of realism, The reasons for the flowering of Russian literature and its impact and A short essay on the history of Russian literature, published in 1923. They were based on non-Russian sources, mostly English, and probably contain quite a few mistakes."
